Oh wow that catch all thing sounds like a really handy alternative to disposable emails. Thank you! I will also look into spam assassin. Logged into my VPS to remember what software I'm using - dovecot and postfix.
EDIT: installed and configured SpamAssassin. Thank you, that was easy!
I also can't recommend greylisting enough. If you haven't already enabled it in postfix I strongly suggest doing so. It's one of the easiest ways to reduce spam. By simply bouncing emails from new sources the first time and forcing them to retry, it cut my spam tremedously.
