# What is an email catch-all address?

A "catch-all" email address is where all mail goes that is sent to [someone@yourdomain.com](mailto:someone@yourdomain.com), where 'someone' doesn't exist.

For example, suppose you have the following three email addresses set up: [you@yourdomain.com](mailto:you@yourdomain.com) [sales@yourdomain.com](mailto:sales@yourdomain.com) [info@yourdomain.com](mailto:info@yourdomain.com) Suppose further, that someone sends an email to the address: [information@yourdomain.com](mailto:information@yourdomain.com)

That email would go to the 'default,' or 'catch-all' email address. In other words, any email sent to a non existent user/mailbox on your domain is sent to the catchall.

There is an option on your control panel under mail configuration to **turn off** the catch all address. If you do this, you will no longer receive any mail unless it is address specifically to an email account you have set up.
