WARNING !!! Catch-alls are an invitation to spammers. We HIGHLY Reccomend that you set your Catchall to “devnull” (without the quotes) as this will delete all emails sent to your domain with out a proper email address. NOTE: People who are emailing you for legitimate reasons do not just randomly pick an email address.
