Default Address (Catch-all Email Address)
The default or catch-all address is the one to which all e-mails, addressed to a non-available or mistakenly entered email account at your domain name are routed to. In case someone sends an email to info@yourdomain.com and you do not have such mailbox, the catch-all option will forward this email to your default email address.
