Catch-all A catch-all mailbox basically catches all emails with typos, incorrect names etc, but email has domain name in email address spelt correctly (e.g. typo@yourdomain.com). For example, you can set up an alias such as mailmanager@yourdomain.com and all emails with typos are redirected to this mailbox.

Mailing Lists A mailing list is a system for distributing email messages to many people at once. Mailing lists are a good tool to use if you have a brochure, catalog or newsletter and you want to distribute to lots of people. ISP should either have some sort of Mailing list program installed or have a mailing list included on their mail server.
