Another no regrets catch-all user. Looking into my rules, I have 4 "to" addresses that get sent to spam.

Two stories as well:

a) After contacting a company, I got a mail from their legal department asking me to explain why I’m using their trademarked name in my email

b) Using an online-shop that requires emailing the owner for your order (so he can send you a PayPal invoice and then snail-mail you the music CDs you ordered…) I got a personal message attached of him asking why his label’s name is in my email address.

In both cases, a short explanation was sufficient, though.
