It depends if your ISP will allow you to configure your mailbox to
reject or delete mail to unknown user names. Catchall addresses for
domains are generally a bad idea in this age of ever increasing spam.
You might be better off running your own mail server. Mail servers like
Postfix support an allowed list of addresses, with all other mail being
deleted.
