What is a 'catch-all' email address?
Legend Mail Migration
Mail to an address that is not aliased to a specific mailbox will be delivered to the default mailbox for a domain. If this mailbox accepts any address within the domain it is referred to as a catch-all and is typically represented as an email address without a specific lefthand side (LHS), ie @your-domain.co.uk.
Historically most email accounts for a domain would operate as a catch-all. However, with the massively increased spam levels of today's internet, catch-alls are easily abused with a 'dictionary' attack of randomly generated LHS so are generally discouraged.
