Unfortunately, having a catchall is another thing stolen by spammers. I
don't use many of the standard addresses such as webmaster, info, sales,
etc. on my Cobalt. I haven't looked into the configuration of Sendmail
on the Cobalt so that it doesn't confirm addresses either. None of my
form to mail pages have the email address in the HTML as spammers
harvest those as well.
