A custom domain with wildcard for catch all is how I have been creating logins for the past 17 years. It is fascinating to see which addresses suddenly start getting spam down the road.

It is also very easy to nuke an address this way once it is a spam trap.

About 10 years here and hundreds of different addresses given out. I get surprisingly little spam. Most spam I get comes to addresses that were leaked in data breaches, or email to my old gmail address which is forwarded. I'd say maybe 5 of them have ever started getting spammed.
Been wanting to get into hosting my own email. This is genius. Thanks for the tip.
