Types of Emails for Profiles

Typically, your profile emails will be one of the following:

• Catchall Domain

• Forwarded Gmail, Outlook, etc.

Catchall Domains

A catchall email domain is a domain that can be used to receive all emails that are sent to that domain regardless of the email address being invalid. All emails that are sent to this catchall domain would get automatically forwarded to an email address of your choosing.

For example, let’s say you owned the domain @test.com and your personal email is [e-mail]. Any email that is sent to an email address that contains the domain @test.com, would automatically be forwarded to [e-mail].

If you set up the following emails:

[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]

They would automatically be forwarded to your personal email, [e-mail]. You can see what this looks like from a few different websites below.

[e-mail] → [e-mail]

[e-mail] → [e-mail]

[e-mail] → [e-mail]

[e-mail] → [e-mail]

[e-mail] → [e-mail]

Benefits of a Catchall Domain

A catchall domain is helpful for a lot of reasons. It’s a cheap and effective way to collect all emails used for purchases and to have unique email addresses for stores that limit you to one purchase per customer.

Most sneaker websites require unique email addresses to be used when placing orders. This allows you to create as many unique email addresses that you want. There are many ways out there to automatically create as many email addresses containing your catchall domain as you need. You can use all of these emails as profile emails for your bots.

It also allows you to have a more organized view of all emails, instead of having emails in tons of individual inboxes if you did not use a catchall domain or have preforwarded emails. For example, using the Supreme emails shown previously, all 22 order confirmation emails were sent to the same inbox instead of having to manually go through 22 different inboxes.

A catchall is also very cheap to set up. You can set one up for as low as $10 a year for a quality .com catchall domain. If you choose to go with another option such as .club or .xyz, you can get one for cheaper, however I would personally recommend to set up a more professional domain such as .com, .org, .net, etc.

When creating the name of your catchall domain, I would highly recommend to make it as professional as you can make it. For example, you should ideally not put words like reseller, sneakers, etc. that would make it seem very clear that you are a reseller. Take some time to come up with something that looks like a legitimate business or something reputable. According to Hyper, you can use words like "email" or "mail" in the name to make it sound more legitimate.

Setting Up Catchall Domains

The most common providers for catchall domains are Google and Namecheap.

It is recommended to use Google over Namecheap if possible for creating a domain. Namecheap in the past has limited the amount of emails that can come from certain email addresses, such as Nike or Foot Locker, meaning you won't receive those. For that reason, Google is a better choice.

Follow these guides linked below to see how to set up each one.

Generating Catchall Domain Emails for Profiles

There are a few different ways to generate profile emails with your catchall domain.

Manually

1. Visit http://psyduckrawr.github.io/catchall

2. Fill in the required fields. Enter in your catchall domain (without the @), how many numbers you want to appear right before the @, and the number of profile emails you want. See the example below.

3. Copy and paste them into whatever you use to manage your profiles such as your .csv file.m

AYCD

Refer to the following guide from AYCD for help getting started.

Simply insert your catchall domain (ex. @abadomain.com) into the email field. Under advanced jig options, I would recommend to check the “Use Name” and “Jig Only Numbers Before @ Sign” options for best results.

Once you’ve filled out the information as shown above, you can click the jig option at the bottom and it should have filled out your email field with a good catchall format with first and last name and then random numbers at the end.

Forwarded Gmails

You can also set up another type of catchall system. This method doesn’t use a catchall domain, rather a bunch of real email addresses such as Gmails that are preforwarded to one inbox. The inbox that they are all forwarded to will serve as the “catchall” email.

Unlike a catchall domain where you use a bunch of fake email addresses with your domain to automatically forward to one email address, you will need to have real Gmails for this.

How to Forward a Gmail

You can either manually set a Gmail to be forwarded to another, or you can use an automated tool such as AYCD or Kalevala to accomplish this.

To manually set this up, refer to the following guide below:

How to Manually Forward Gmails

Alternatively, and the more convenient method, is to use AYCD or Kalevala for this as it gets quite tedious to manually log onto multiple Gmails and forward them.

AYCD

AYCD has a feature that allows you to automatically forwarded Gmails to a Gmail account of your choosing.

You can read about the feature here and how to use it here: https://aycd.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041171674-OneClick-Email-Forwarding-and-Troubleshooting.

To use this feature, you will need an AYCD Toolbox subscription. If you do not have one, then you can buy one through AMNotify in the AYCD Partnership channel linked below for $18/month.

Be careful to follow their instructions when forwarding, as Google does not like it when Gmails are forwarded sometimes, especially when it is a newer account made recently as they think it may be being used for spam purposes or something else. Additionally, you do not want to forward too many Gmails to one account. They recommend a max of 25 Gmails being forwarded to one master Gmail account at once.

Providers for Forwarded Gmails

You can purchase forwarded Gmails from various providers. Sometimes they will be labeled as raffle Gmails from various providers.

One popular choice is BestQualityPVA https://bestqualitypvas.com/buy-gmail-accounts/. The pack that a lot of people buy is the 2014 Forwarding Pack that contains 100 Gmails for $120. However, some people have reported issues with them in the past, so it may be best to create your own Gmails and have a tool forward them for you.

In general, forwarded Gmails from any provider can be quite expensive, so unless you plan to get into raffle botting, it may not be the most cost effective option for you.

Forwarded Gmail Limits

I would recommend not to forward too many Gmails to one account. You should try to spread it out so that there are not too many accounts being forwarded to one Gmail within a short time span.

You can set up your forwarding system as a pyramid of sorts.

This way, all of your Gmails are not being forwarded to the same one, and are more spread out.

Alternatively, you can forward your Gmails to a catchall account that is already setup to forwarded to your master Gmail account. This way the email will ultimately find its way to your main Gmail account.

Age

I would recommend to also forward older Gmails that are at least 1-2 years old. Making new accounts and then setting them to forward right away can cause Google to disable them. Providers such as BestQualityPVA sell accounts created from multiple years such as 2014, 2018, etc.

Captcha Gmails

If you have Gmails that you use for captchas, you can forward them to use as forwarded profile Gmails. However, keep in mind, that they can get disabled if you do this, although it has happened for me personally on 2/90 Gmails so the likelihood of it is not very high if you purchase aged Gmails from a reputable provider.
