Default Catch All Address




Within cPanel is a feature called Default Address.  This is where you can specify a "catch all" account.

More information:

The default email address will "catch" any mail that is sent to an invalid email address for your domain. To send all default mail to the main mail account, type the username of your cPanel account into the "Forward to email address" field.

Warning: 

Activating this feature is something you should not do for very long.  It will increase your spam from dictionary type attacks which is when a spammer emails *@typeyourdomainhere.com  in other words, anything from A-Z will be sent to you!   This is the #1 way to get a TON of spam.

Validity:

We can see this being used temporarily when building or moving an account to Parcom as you don't want to miss any emails that you may have not configured ahead of time.
