Email/Spam

Hello - i wanted to know if there was a way to reduce spam coming to my inbox

in the first month i have 1450 emails of spam, i have had these domains for years and about 1 year without having them hosted anywhere - my issue is instead of creating multiple email accounts i have about 3, one personal (no spam), one secondary and one Catch all.

the catchall gets each spam mail and im wondering if there is a way to reduce it or somehow blow certain domains?

the email gets sent to email address ive never created for my domain such as 'accountdomain' or salesdomain etc




thanks!

The best way to stop getting that many spam emails is to simply disable the catchall you have set up. Catchalls are almost always a bad idea.
