Catchall

What is a catchall?

A "catchall" account is an email address that collects all the emails sent to your domain name, even if the given email address doesn't exist. For example, if your domain is "test.com", all emails sent to [e-mail], [e-mail], [e-mail] etc.. will be redirected to your main email address.

How to setup a catchall

First of all, you will need to buy a domain. Domains cost depend on its popularity and relevance, and the lowest prices can be around 3$ / year. To buy a domain:

1. Register an account at Namecheap: https://www.namecheap.com/myaccount/signup/.

2. Head to the "Domain Name Search" page: https://www.namecheap.com/domains/domain-name-search/.

3. Search for a domain you'd like, this can literally be anything, but use a common suffix for it (.com, .de, .it, .co.uk, etc...) as other ones can easily be filtered in raffles and from websites.

4. Once you found a domain you like and it has an affordable price, add it to cart and complete the checkout process.

You now own your first domain! now, let's set your catchall up.

1. Head to the "Domains List" page: https://ap.www.namecheap.com/domains/list/.

2. Click the "Manage" button, on the right side of your domain.

3. Scroll down till you reach the "Redirect Email" section.

4. Click "Add Catch-All", and simply add the email you want to receive everything to.

Allow up to around 30 minutes (maybe even 1 hour) before your catchall is completely up and running. After this time has passed, try sending a test email to [e-mail], and see if you receive it correctly. (obviously replace whatever with some random letters / numbers and yourdomain.com with your domain).
