Avoid Default Mail Settings
Setting a default or Catch-All mailbox used to be a good idea until a technique known as "dictionary" attacks became more popular with spammers. This is where spam programs send spam to every possible combination of letters at a domain, or to common names and words. Now it is better if you just make aliases for as many names as you can think of that you might need and point them to your main mailbox, then set the default to bounce. It will help your spam situation. If spam is still a problem, consider signing up for
