What is a Catch-All Email Address?
Catch-All Email is a service that allows you to set up a temporary email address for a special occasion or business function, such as a special promotion on your storefront. Also, it enables you to receive all emails, even if they are misaddressed or misspelled.
The benefit of using a catch-all email is that you automatically receive all misaddressed or misspelled emails in your mailbox. For example, if your email address is [email protected] and a message is sent to [email protected], the email will still be delivered to their catch-all mailbox.
