How To Create A Catch-All Email Account In Plesk?

A catch-all email account helps you ensure that you will never miss a message due to a simple typo. With this feature active on your Plesk account, emails sent to nonexistent, or misspelled addresses at your domain (e.g., [email protected] instead of [email protected]), will be rerouted to a primary inbox of your choosing.

This guide will help you set your “Mail for Non-Existent Users” feature to create reliable catch-all accounts.

To set up a catch-all email account, follow the instructions below:

Log into your Plesk account.

On the left sidebar, click on ‘Mail’.

On the ‘Mail’ page, select the ‘Mail Settings’ option.

Check the box next to the desired domain for which you are creating the catch-all email account.

Select the option ‘Mail for Non-Existent Users’.

Under the heading, ‘Mail for Non-Existent Users for Selected Domains’, select ‘Forward to address’.

Type in the address that will act as the catch-all email address.

Press ‘Ok’.

Conclusion

Creating a catch-all email account in Plesk is a straightforward method to defend professionalism in your email communication while safeguarding against missing out on important emails. While the setup necessitates a bit of extra care in the management of the spam folder, the reassurance that all emails get delivered is a strong positive.
