Real story from the last millennium. Mail admin had a hosted domain that was configured, per customer wishes, as a catchall domain (*@example.com) was accepted. Then, the customer sorted through the inbox and delivered messages to individual users. Messages that did not match an existing user were discarded. Main client of customer had an emergency and sent an urgent email to the support email address, but mistyped it was supo...@example.com. After not getting a reply, they resent it several times. Many hours later they were able to call. Customer claimed it was client’s fault for misaddressing the email, client said customer should have bounced the email. Client fired customer, customer went out of business and mail admin was left holding a several hundred dollar unpaid bill. I told the mailadmin he should never ever allow anyone to setup a catch-all domain, but he wanted the money (which he never got). -- "My parents were unwilling to secure the necessary eagle's eggs and lion semen"
