Re: Wildcard emails

Hi Guys

I know this is going to seem really dumb - but I have never heard of wildcard emails - and I have been told I should set them up to test my site - what are they and how do i set one up?

Thanks guys

More commonly referred to as a "catch-all" email address.

Trust me, you don't want one. You can set them up in cPanel > Default Address and set it to accept "everything"@yourdomain.com but all that it does is accept every piece of spam sent to @yourdomain.com.

Well I seem to be getting that anyway - I've just spent the last 20 minutes emptying out spam from one of our not very often used email addresses!
