| I have my personal domain (let's say johndoe.com) and I have set it up so all (catch-all) emails go to one email. chase@johndoe.com, att@johndoe.com. Pretty easy. |

| Same - very easy to setup with Cloudflare Email Routing and no fees. All email gets forwarded to an obscure Gmail, and use Amazon SES for sending emails (also ends up being free due to super low volume of emails). |

| Same. I've done this for years with my crappy namecheap web host email. Works great. Pro tip. Just setup a subdomain on a domain you already own. This makes filtering even easier. |

| You must love all the spam you're getting with a catch-all! |

| ▲ | peanut-walrus 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I've been using my own domain with a catchall for over 10 years and never had problems with spam. Spammers tend to send to harvested address lists, not just try to send to random mailboxes for a domain. | | |
| ▲ | lucb1e 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | The backscatter can be annoying though. I had none for over 10 years either but it's picking up now to perhaps a few per month. Looking around how to prevent it, apparently "backscatter" is an established term for the phenomenon that you can't fix, where you receive rejected spam emails, and they're often sent from randomly generated prefixes @ your domain (no matter that you have SPF/DKIM/etc. set up). My partner also gets waves of autoreplies, like "your support ticket will be handled soon" and "I'm out of office until ...", where someone seems to have used their domain with a random prefix no apparent reason The solution is probably to tell the senders that they're effectively sending out spam / doing a variant of open relaying by emailing the spoofed address, but even internet-savvy institutions like an IP address assigning organization (RIPE) sends me backscatter so I don't have a ton of hope |
