How do I setup a catchall Email in Plesk?

A catch all email address can come in handy when you need to send an email address to an email that doesn't exist. A catchall can help also catch emails that may have typos in them.

Enabling catch all email:

  1. Login to Plesk (the login information can be found in your welcome email)
  2. Click on "Domains" and then click on the domain that you wish to edit
  3. Now, click on "Mail" and then click on "Preferences"
  4. Here, you will need to set what you wish to do with messages sent to a "nonexistent" user

There are three different options:

Bounce – messages that arrive and there is no mailbox present will be sent back to the original sender.

Catch to Address – All messages will be accepted and forwarded to this email address. We strongly recommend that you use an internal email (such as you@yourcompany.com) instead of a webmail service such as Gmail, or Yahoo!

Discard – This means that any message sent to a nonexistent user will be discarded (deleted) without sending a bounce back message to the original sender.

Select, and review your choices above and then click "OK" to confirm the changes.
