This is an interesting reminder... I've been using catch-all on @mydomain for at least 15 years, and I went through a phase where I'd get a lot of random strings @mydomain. I set up dummy honeypot@mydomain accounts and added a lot of crap as aliases so they'd get tucked away in a disabled account. (I also do that with any "valid" email addresses that start to get spam.) It was a pain in the butt, but it also stopped quite a while ago. With newer domains, I tend to see stupid common ones like "info", "postmaster", etc. getting spam, but haven't seen the random gibberish ones.
