Have you encountered issues with signing up with certain services? I know a few run checks to see if the domain is a catch-all (eg. sending to `pwgen`@domain.example and checking for a bounce) and will block signup when that happens.

I've been doing the catch-all signup for over a decade myself and haven't had any issues. What service checks stuff like that?

I can't find it now, but there was a mildly populae HN thread about a service that does "email validation" and part of it did catch-all detection, and there do seem to be other services that market this[0].
