Default CatchAll Email Address's

Hey Everyone,

As part of our improvement, we're discontinuing all catch all email address's on all our servers. This is due to high attacks against our mail servers, where catch all emails are flooded with emails.

CatchAll Disable Date: 14-12-07

Let me echo this. A catch-all address should be banned. It is a singular source of misery for lots and lots of businesses.

Yea, it will reduce the load quite a bit on all the servers some even as much as 40%
