How to Set my default email address (Catch All email)?

Any e-mail that is sent to an unknown account at your domain name, such as [email protected], gets automatically rerouted to your default e-mail account.

All web site accounts are automatically assigned a default e-mail address - [email protected] - which you can change, if required.

Steps:

  1. Click on Mail Icon in your Control Panel.
  2. Click on the Default Address link in the Mail area.
  3. Click on the Set Default Address link. Enter the complete e-mail address of the new default in the field next to your web site name drop-down list.
  4. Click on the Change button. Your new default e-mail address has now been set.
Note: You can enter :blackhole: to throw away all incoming mail, or :fail: no such address here to bounce the e-mail back to the sender.
