Hi all, What are the real-world caveats of offering "catch-all" mailboxes (a.k.a. "nobody" aliases in IMail)?
A hosting provider, I have long denied this service to our customers for fear of spammers inundating our mail servers with fabricated addresses culled from a name dictionary. Furthermore, I fear that when those spammers do not receive a "No Such User" error, they will catalogue the bogus addresses as "legit," share it with other spammers, and forever send thousands (millions?) of mis-addressed messages to a domain that has long since disabled the catch-all feature. Am I overreacting? Any input is appreciated. Dave -- David M.
