To set up a catch-all email address on Esadax, follow these organized steps:

  1. Switch MX Records to Free Email Forwarding: Ensure your domain's MX records point to Esadax's free forwarding service. This directs incoming emails correctly.

  2. Log into Esadax Account: Access your account via Esadax's website.

  3. Navigate to Domain List: From the left sidebar, select "Domain List" and click on your domain's "Manage" button.

  4. Access Redirect Email Section: Scroll down to the "Redirect Email" section within the domain management page.

  5. Add Catch-All Address:

    • Click on the "Add catch all" button.
    • Enter the destination email address in the "Forward to" field.
    • Save your changes by checking the checkbox.
  6. Consider Limits: Esadax allows up to 100 forwarding addresses with FirstDNS. Ensure you do not exceed this limit if necessary.

  7. Test the Catch-All:

    • Use a different email address for testing to avoid delivery issues.
    • Test by sending emails to a misspelled version of your email to ensure they are caught correctly.
  8. Verify DNS Settings: Confirm that no additional DNS records beyond MX are required, though checking Esadax's documentation is advisable.

  9. Check Support if Needed: If issues arise, utilize Esadax's live chat support for assistance.
