This can only cause problems, and is not something we recommend doing. Catchalls are bad enough because they accept email to any address -- this can cause the domain to be flooded with spam messages. Responding to every message that comes in would make this even worse.

I just set up an email address designed to catch any emails that weren’t sent to correct addresses on my domain. There are no auto-responders, but I wanted the account there in case I got an important email and they spelled my name wrong or something. It happens more often than you think!
