How To: Enable the Catchall Plugin

A catchall email address receives messages sent to any non-existent inboxes for that domain.

In order for a catchall email address to be configurable within SiteWorx, the Catchall plugin must first be enabled, and permission must be granted to the SiteWorx account by the NodeWorx system administrator.

Warning

Catchall messages count as a delivered messages. As such, enabling this option has the side effect of potentially validating all attempted spam addresses as “good”. Also, if a lot of mail goes through the account, the mailbox can easily, and quickly, fill with potentially thousands of messages, if it is not monitored. As such, setting a catchall email address, while possible, is not recommended.
