---- Are Catch-all E-mail Accounts Dead?

It's interesting how many members still make use of catch-all addresses. I was ready to nuke a couple of my worst offenders, but perhaps I'll hold off.

2000 spam messages a day seems like a lot, but I suppose it depends on the number of domains and the characteristics of those domains. I'm finding a few hundred a day for popular domains is typical (i.e., domains that have been around for a few years, have good inbound linkage, etc.). Some of the spam comes to real addresses, the rest to bogus or guessed addresses.
