never consider catchall if you wish to stay away from spams. Catchall allows spammers to choose a random emails address on your domain name to use as a reply-to and error-to address in their spamming scripts. Catchall can also result in huge inbound dictionary attack on your domain.

We have disabled catchall on some of our windows servers as catching spammers and inbound dictionary attack on windows is somewhat difficult from Linux. Spamassassin and rbl.spamcop.net + rbl.spamhaus.org make perfect combination to reduce incoming spam.
