Cutting out catch-all for my email
The problem was not spam sent to me (that usually comes to my trond address as I've used that for a zillion years - and not to careful about where I left it for the a good many of those years. Anyway the spam-filter on the server catches most of those).
The problem is spoofing. That means that the spammers use a fake email address to send their emails. And when a spammer sends out a billion emails from agfh[at]ulseth.no (or some such random ulseth.no address) a whole lot of those are bounced back, because the address is not valid or a spam filter bounces it back. So I'd get houndreds of "failed delivery" or similar messages each day.
On that note - I think spam filters that bounces the emails back are just adding to the problem they are trying to solve.
