What technical means do you use to detect a catch-all address? I know of no reliable method for that purpose, since receiving server cooperation would be required and could not be trusted.
- massaman_yams 8y agoThis won't detect a catch-all address, but will almost always detect a catch-all domain: send email to [long random string]@domain. Does it bounce or is it accepted?
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoWhy would you block by that? I've worked places that intentionally did use the catch-all, mostly against misspellings.
- massaman_yams 8y agoI use catchalls for my business domains too.
- conquistadog 8y agoHow does the existence of a catch-all, of any kind, make it not a "valid business domain?"
- massaman_yams 8y agoI'm not commenting on whether it's a good heuristic or not. Just a possible approach.
