Overview
The following explains how to create a garbage email address and the key points to understand about its functionality.
Background
A garbage email address works like a deleted or disabled email address in that it doesn’t have an active mailbox. However, unlike deleted or disabled addresses, which send a bounce notification to the sender, a garbage email address simply deletes incoming messages without notifying anyone. The sender won’t know the message was deleted, and the user won’t see the message either.
Creating a garbage address
To create a garbage address:
- Navigate to the Manage Email page.
- Click the Create Email button.
- Select your domain from the Email Address dropdown and enter the name of your new email.
- Select Garbage Email under Mailbox Type and click the Create Garbage Email button.
