    Catchalls are huge spam traps. If you end up getting a dictionary attack, every address they try is set to 'valid'. ;)

    Is this a bad thing? A few friends and I have found that there are uses for having a set of addresses which only get spam...

    Hotmail was a successful webmail operation years before Microsoft bought it.

    I currently maintain email servers, and I agree 100%. However, thanks to HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, and various other regulations, having unencrypted email transmitted or stored outside your intranet is a huge legal liability in many cases. I've heard that google may be releasing a rackmounted gmail appliance (like their search appliance) that is integrated with their beta calander.

    "But I'd still prefer to inhibit the sending of the header."

    And I'd prefer they didn't. It's useful to know who actually sent a message. (Sure, it can be forged anyway, but I'm talking about for administrative purposes, not security.) All my mail programs don't puke all over the screen when they get the header. If yours does, I suggest you contact the vendor of said program for support.
