The most effective approach to spam prevention is to keep off of lists where spammers might find your e-mail address. Spam prevention: don't let spammers find you!Spammers send out emails to websites that they find, after collecting (called 'harvesting') emails from the web site. While catchall addresses are a well-intentioned feature (ensuring that any mail directed to a domain can be received and directed to someone in charge, even if the address is misspelled), they cause problems when mixed with spam and other forms of mail abuse. For example, if a spammer decides to forge non-existent addresses in the domain into his messages, then hundreds or thousands of bounces for all of these messages will be sent back to the victim's catchall address. Integrated spam blockers are the most popular types of spam filtering software. The options allow you to mark your mail as spam, or not as spam, etc. Some anti-spam software can send greylisted addresses an automated response, challenging the sender to confirm their legitimacy.
