There's really not much you can do about it....
 Lordy!
I'll stop complaining at 600 maybe. It is annoying though...
I do the catch-all cos I use different names for different mailing lists.
Thanks for all the thoughts and feedback  |

If you do as I do and create aliases for each name you use on your main account, you can disable the catch-all. This gives you the added advantage of being able to simply remove the alias if it starts getting spammed.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I do this as well. I haven't done it to the extent of others above, but I have a couple generic aliases that I use when I'm not sure how trustworthy the site is. However, I like the idea of having a separate alias for each site... probably going to start that. |

| Yes, my problem is that I have hundreds of these blooming blah@mydomain.co.uk accounts on the go now - and there's no chance I'll remember more than 5% of them to make an alias list! But even if I could, easily.co.uk who I registered most of my domains with, only allow 20 named email aliases per domain - I use them as a blacklist as opposed to whitelisting the ones I create - it worked a treat for years until these <bizarrerandomstring>@mydomain.co.uk mails kicked off :-$ |
