Introduction

Catch All is an essential feature for simplifying e-mail management on LWS. By activating Catch All, you can receive all e-mails sent to any address in your domain, even if it does not yet exist in your e-mail account. This feature is particularly useful, as it ensures that you don't miss any important e-mails and improves message reception. In this documentation, we will guide you step-by-step through the process of activating Catch All on your LWS mail service and provide you with practical advice on how to make the most of it.

I. Practical example of using the Catch All functionality

Let's assume that you are the owner of a website for a voluntary association that organises charity events. Your domain is "mycharitableassociation.com". Traditionally, you have set up specific e-mail addresses such as"contact@monassociationcaritative.com" and"inscription@monassociationcaritative.com" to facilitate communication with members and participants.

However, over time you find that some people use non-standard email addresses to contact you, such as"info@monassociationcaritative.com" or"support@monassociationcaritative.com". These e-mail addresses have not been created individually in your e-mail account, so e-mails sent to them are not received.

By activating Catch All on LWS for your "mycharity.com" domain, you solve this problem. From now on, all e-mails sent to addresses such as"info@monassociationcaritative.com" or"support@monassociationcaritative.com" will be routed to your main inbox.

Thanks to Catch All, you'll never miss an important e-mail again, because all messages sent to addresses in your domain will be received, even those that haven't been individually configured. This makes it easier to communicate with your association and keeps you in touch with all your members, participants and partners, regardless of the e-mail address they use to contact you.

IV. Good practice and safety tips

Once Catch All has been activated, you can use it in an advanced way by managing generic e-mails, filtering invalid or unwanted e-mails and optimising the organisation of incoming e-mails. For example, you can use generic addresses such as"contact@votredomaine.com" to facilitate communication with your customers.

Although Catch All is a practical feature, it is essential to take certain precautions to avoid pitfalls and maintain the confidentiality of your data. Avoid providing generic addresses to unreliable sources and make sure you have an effective filtering system for unwanted emails.
