I set "Catch-all" to delete all emails for the following reasons:
1) There is no need to get "catch-all" as it does increase spam - anyone
can send e-mail(s) to %$£%£%£"@whateveryourdomain.com
2) There is no need to bounce back e-mails caught by "Catch-all" as (a)
it increases the traffic for no reason (2) spam e-mails are disguised so
you never get through to the true sender

Friends,
1st let me say that i have asked this forum for advice on my battele
with spam and I can say that I am enjoying success from the wisdom.
thank you.
a related matter.
I [ the postmaster ] personnally get a lot of spam because I am the
ctach all account.
this means I get spam for ' people who do not exist" - this is 2
catagories.
1- accounts that did exist in the past but no longer. ie billiebob
left - so no billie...@mydom.com anymore
2- accounts that have never existed . ie unic...@mydom.com
as you might suspect these are largely spam.
My q - what is a suggested means of doing this?
my thoughts are
1. a account is made named d...@mydom.com as catch all and assign it a
quota of 5 MB
2 make s...@mydom.com the catch all.
or
3. no change - meaning leave it so it goes to my mailbox as catch all.
thanks
