A catchall mailbox is a mailbox to which any email not destined for a specific mailbox is delivered. For example, if someone were to send an e-mail to nobody@example.com, it would get routed to a catch-all address for the example.com domain. If no catch-all mailbox had been set up, the email would simply be returned to the sender with an error message.
Microsoft Exchange has no native support for catch-all mailboxes, but the freeware Netwrix Catch-All Mailbox Configurator tool is a very easy way to configure a catch-all e-mail with a couple of mouse clicks and without any custom scripts and tricky configuration steps. You just install this tool on your Hub Transport or Edge Transport Exchange server and specify an e-mail domain and e-mail address to which all uncaught mail should be forwarded.
Features and benefits:
- Hassle-free configuration of Exchange catch-all mailbox;
- Easily forward all uncaught email to one mailbox for review.
