9	9	Before creating a catch all email account keep in mind: catch all email accounts are spam traps. It is common for spammers to send messages to random users at a particular domain and if those messages are not rejected, they are assumed to be good addresses, so the spammers will continue sending to you.

Our servers are able to reject outright a lot of spam by rejecting email that is sent to an address that doesn't exist.
