Hello. I just created a catchall email in one of my domains. Just a simple question, what is the spintax format for the email section so that it will create unlimited variants/email addresses to send to my catchall email?

Here is a slightly extended version of what @backlinkaddict suggested. I added sub domains to the email
%spinfile-names.dat%{.|-|_}%spinfile-lnames.dat%{%random-1-100%|}@#random[A..Z,0..9].your-catch-all-domain.com
You need to create a wildcard subdomain like : *.yourdomain.com the system will change it to /_wildcard_.yourdomain.com
Then you need to create a default address where to forward all unrouted emails.
What i used to do is use 1 domain just to forward all the emails to and then all my other domains i want to use for the emails will redirect all unrouted emails to that 1 email account. That is better than having a default address on the same domain, so now i have say 30 domains set up with wildcard sub domain and catchall , and all these 30 will forward all unrouted to the 1 mail account.
Here is a sample what the import file would have looked like:
In the below sample , the domain used for wildacrd emails was .get-bitcoins.club and the email account where all the mail was forwarded to was mail@blog-stuff.com and that is then where GSA connected to to retrieve the email I used to do it like that five years ago , but i have not been using it lately as i have enought normal accounts, and prefer those over wildcard catchalls.
PLEASE NOTE NONE OF THE DOMAINS IN ABOVE SAMPLE IS ACTIVE, AND THE PASSW IS JUST A RANDOM PASSW. SO HOPE SOME SMART ASS DONT TRY TO USE IT.
I believe the key is not to only use emails from one provider, because it is possible that the mail server (smtp) ip of that provider get blacklisted on stopforum spam or some other list, and then all his emails will be burned, because many host providers load the list of sites like Stopfourm spam into Exim mail software on cpanel or even sites like wordpress, joomla, and Drupal can install software to block comment or conatct form spammers - for instance i use a service called https://cleantalk.org/ and if you are a spammer, or a contact form blaster then you will have hard time getting thru to my contact forms or comment sections.
It is best to use a mix of emails, from several providers and then also get free to create emails such as hotmail, yahoo, and so on. Unfortunately Google changed there policy recentely so creating bulk gmails is no no longer an option when you want to use app password.
But just use as many emails from as many providers as possible, including those from your own server.
I am aware of a "URL Must Have" in the Tier filter option when creating multiple tiers, but I don't know where else this option is.
Oh, ok, now I understand. I'm not sure why that is there.
Thanks
