nobody is sending email to alsdkjfadf@domain
- takoid 4y agoYou are right. But I think using a catch all with a separate username for each service/business is becoming an increasingly common practice so I would imagine it’s only a matter of time before spammers catch on and begin exploiting this.
- ylk 4y ago> nobody is sending email to alsdkjfadf@domain That’s actually the kind of spam I used to receive on a very short domain with a catch-all. I guess they loop through short domain names and then try to brute-force the local part.
