The <strong>Set Catch All E-mail<\/strong> will show three options to choose from and configure the <strong>Catch-All<\/strong> setting.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fail<\/strong>: The setting will notify the recipient that the sender doesn\u2019t exist. DirectAdmin highly recommends this option as the server may overload due to spam which makes disabling them a better choice. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10619 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/email_fail.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1351\" height=\"515\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ignore<\/strong>: This setting drops the e-mails and generates no message, completely ignoring the e-mail. However, users should be careful while picking this option as the system would accept e-mails and discard them, not notifying the user. It puts an unnecessary load on the server, which is why DirectAdmin suggests picking the <strong>Fail<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10620 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/email_ignore.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1351\" height=\"514\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Address<\/strong>: Fill in the field with an e-mail address to catch all improperly addressed mail to your site.
