The usual requirement for a catch-all address is to "train" an antispam engine, or similar tasks. If you don't require a catch-all, then remove it. It also means you're not accepting mail for invalid addresses, which means that you should be able to employ some useful smtpd_recipient_restrictions and reduce your spam burden in general.
