I've had a universal domain account hosted elsewhere for a few years, 
with very little in the way of dictionary attacks.  I have got one on 
this account (1 week old), but that was to something like 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  - interesting dictionary :).

It can't pose as much of a problem as subscribing to this list though.  
Since subscribing on opening this account, I have recieved over 50 spams 
directed at my exact email.  I have not sent email to anyone except this 
list.

In my experience, dictionary attacks are few and far between nowadays.  
However, the local-part-prefix option is interesting, and I'll probably 
set that up after I get inundated...
