Why do you have a catchall? If you didn't, then email to nonvalid
addresses would be rejected by your domain's mail server, and you'd
never have to see it.
I never quite understood why so many web hosting companies configure
their default configurations with a catchall. In the world before
spam, that wasn't a bad idea, but we've been living in the spam world
for a lot more than 5 years, so it seems to me to make no sense at
all to use catchalls any longer.
My catchall to a .org.uk domain I deal with has no problems with spam
whatsoever, despite being by far the most publicised of all the domains
I deal with.
