Comment catch alls (Score 1) 579
I own several domains and get surprisingly little spam from the catch all accounts.
I actually find catch alls usefull for the reverse reason... when I am forced to enter an email address I use thesite@mydomain.com... this way I can track who is selling/trading my email address. So for example if I use amazon@mydomain.com and 3 weeks later I start getting spam on that address I know where it came from. Also I can then set up that email address as a real pop address and never check it or better yet forward it to uce@ftc.gov the government spam reporting email address...
