Hello everyone,

I have a problem, I have a lot of domains that I would like to have a Default Address setup for.
A "catch all email"

cpanel only allows me to setup 1 per each domain.

It will take me so long to do it, and then when I add a new domain or sub, I need to remember to set it up for the new domain etc.

If I forget then I start to get in a mess with domains that are setup and those which are not.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for setting a global (all domains) default catch all email address the same email for all of my domains.

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

The option referenced in the earlier post will allow you configure the default option used for new accounts. You will still need to change the default address manually for existing accounts.

Thank you.

Well I have to confess I looked all through the documentation and unless I missed something.
It seems as though I still have to set it individually per account.

Although your post has now given me new hope that I can default all new domains automatically.
So I will try looking again.

Im quite new to cPanel so maybe I just missed it.

Thanks for the info..

Your profile lists you as Website Owner, do you also have access to WebHost Manager? If yes:
WebHost Manager »Server Configuration »Tweak Settings, Mail tab.

Initial default/catch-all forwarder destination
Forwarding destination for a new account’s catch-all/default address. (Users may modify this value via the Default Address interface in cPanel.) “Fail” rejects the message and notifies the remote SMTP server. This is usually the best choice if you are getting mail attacks. “Blackhole” accepts and processes the message but then silently discards it. This avoids notifying the remote SMTP server but violates SMTP RFC 5321 and generally should not be used.
