About stopping the CatchAll function of the mail servers
From Wednesday, October 23, 2019 (JST/UTC+9), we will stop the function of CatchAll in the mail servers of Ochanoko-net.
CatchAll is a function that forwards email for non-existing mail accounts to a specific email account.
This function is mainly used to receive email sent to wrong addresses without malicious intent, but at the same time, you will receive junk emails sent to wrong addresses.
In fact, there are many cases where CatchAll is set unintentionally and a large amount of junk email is received, or the forwarding email account is filled with junk email and other email cannot be received, and this is one of the reasons for the load on the mail servers.
For this reason, we have always recommended that you not use CatchAll, but we have decided to disable CatchAll.
As of Wednesday, October 23, 2019 (JST/UTC+9), all CatchAll settings currently set will be disabled.
From this point on, email addressed to a nonexistent mail account results in an error message being returned to the sender.
The CatchAll setting on the email address creation screen is also hidden and cannot be changed.
If you are currently receiving email using CatchAll, you will not be able to receive it, so create an individual email account and use it to receive it.
Please understand that this is a measure to realize a comfortable usage environment.
