Create a garbage email address

Overview

A garbage email address silently deletes all incoming messages without an active mailbox and without sending any bounce notification. You create one from the Manage Email page in the panel by selecting Garbage Email as the mailbox type.

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.

How do I create a garbage email address?

To create a garbage address:

1. Navigate to the Manage Email page.
2. Click the Create Email button.
