FYI, the last time I looked it was not a criminal offence to use a catch all, unless the law is different in Germany? I make heavy use of catchalls for spam tracking using 'balloon race' and watermarking. I may, however, wish to skew and filter some combinations despite running catch all. Please keep this in your mind in future before trotting out that tired old gas.
