If you enable catch-all addresses on your email account, don't you open yourself up to dictionary spam attacks on your domain? I've woken up to 20,000 incoming emails targeted at my domain. It's not fun. Granted, this was years ago, maybe dictionary attacks are no longer in vogue? I just use mailinator.com anytime I need a one-off email address for a web registration.
