I know this is an old thread, and I don't use catch-all addresses (well I did back in the wild-west of the web, but we're talking over 20 years ago), however it's funny to see how many people are like "Gmail spam filter caught it" or "several domains with Google workspace and had no problems". I've used other email systems; which for example, use SpamAssassin; and the amount of shit that comes through. So yes, catch-all is all the rage, if you're using Google, however if you're not, expect a bunch of spam, right? I hear more and more people wanting to getting off the "G" ecosystem, so I guess it'll be different responses to this in the near future.
