This tutorial will show you how to disable the cathc-all e-mail that cPanel comes with standard.
Standard the catch-all is cpanel-login-name@domain-name.com
Example: dedicat@dedicated-resources.com
Normally these E-Mails catch a lot of spam, and trash so disabling them could help, but it could
also let some e-mails you need not get delivered. (Only in the case someone typed in the wrong address,
if the write address is used everything will be fine.)
Catch-All is for *@domain.com if another account is not configured.
Doing the following will still deliver mail to all the accounts, it just wont catch mail to a
non-existant account or mis-spelledone.
1. Log into cPanel for the account you wish to modify.
http://www.yourdomain.comc/cpanel
2. Click on the "Mail" icon, it is in top left for cPanel X theme.
3. Click on "Default Address"
4. Click on " et Default Address" (At bottom of page)
5. Now you see a text box to enter the location, and you see.
"Hint: You can enter :blackhole: to discard all incoming unrouted mail or :fail: no such address
here to bounce it."
:blackhole: Will discard all e-mail, and :fail" will bounce it back to sender saying no such address. I suggest blackhole because a lot of failures will result in a huge mail que.
That's it!
