[Nottingham] Email traceroute?

[Andy Goldschmidt]

Hey guys

A much better solution to using catchalls is to setup all the addresses
you need and forward them to one mailbox.
E.g .sales@ , support@ , messages@   etc

That way you almost get a catchall and you also stop   
the silly user1234xxxx at blah or randomjunk at blah from coming through :)

Imagine a world without catchalls, where would all that spam go :)

Regards
Andy
