      Well, it gives you privacy, because your accounts are not tied to your domain.

      Additionally anyone who finds out you’re using a catch-all can spam you with 100 different email addresses and it’s like spam callers who call you from 100 different numbers, you can’t block them all.

      I speak from experience.

        i’ll give ya the domain leak…

        but i have hundreds of addresses across a few domains, and ive had to setup reply for maybe 5.

        i have no issues with spam, not sure why ya brought that up. most providers have pretty good filters these days

          Someone caught onto my antics and started fucking with me and sending me all kinds of creepy emails. Ended up having to kill the catch-all, along with changing all the emails registered to it.
