Using a Catch-All Email? Beware
Some investors and commentators have advocated catch-all email addresses as a means of discovering potential buyers for your domain name. In essence, a catch-all email address allows you to receive emails that are erroneously sent to a non-existing, incorrect email address. It’s thought that setting up a catch-all email address is an easy way of finding sales leads for your domain.
However, expert domain name industry attorney John Berryhill has issued a warning to investors who use catch-all email addresses. John cites several cases in which complainants have legitimate concerns about MX records' existence on domain name records.
