Trust me, they already do. Try watching spam bots deliver mail to domains. And every time I find someone with a significant spam problem, I solve it for them by disabling the catch-all on their domain. Yeah, it's convenient for you. Convenient for spammers too. It's much easier to solve spam from a known sender to your known address, then to solve for all random attacks against anything in your domain. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
