What is a Catchall?
A catchall account is an email address that collects all the mail sent to your domain name not sent to the other email addresses known to the server. Any emails sent to recipients at your domain, for example, will be "caught" by the catchall account.
Example:
- My domain is @HOR.Club
- Any email with @HOR.club at the end of it will be forwarded to my main email once setup correct
These could include:
