I don't relish the prospect of getting tons of mail to <random-name>@mydomain. I do actually check my spam folder; I'm afraid that if I used a catch-all, that would become impractical.
- jeroenhd 4y agoMaybe it's just me, but I rarely receive catchall spam. I think some scummy company guessed mail@domain.tld but other than that the spam has only come to account names I've actually registered with. I have aliased all the email addresses I know leaked to a special mail box that marks every email it receives as spam. The rest just ends up in the normal mail filtering system. Probably should move towards random usernames instead of service@domain.tld at some point, oh well.
- phyzome 4y agoI worried about this as well (after I had set it up and started relying on it) but in practice I've only gotten spam to a handful of addresses that I didn't make up myself. Into a filter they go.
- antonyh 4y agoI get surprisingly little. There's about 15 addresses that are persistent, and they're all caught by the spam filters. The most important job is to set up SPF and DKIM properly so spammers can't impersonate your domain and send as though FROM you, rather than TO you.
