EMAIL-CATCH-ALL

The domain accepts every address

What it means

A catch-all mail server says yes to any mailbox name at RCPT time, so acceptance proves nothing about whether this particular address is real. Mail may be delivered to a dead folder or bounced later.

How to fix it

  1. 1Treat the address as unverified; confirm it with an opt-in message or a reply.
  2. 2If it is your own domain and you do not want a catch-all, turn it off at the mail server so unknown addresses are rejected.

Re-check after the change

DNS changes can take up to the record's TTL to be seen; use Re-run on the result page to bypass our 10-minute cache.
