Can you explain this more?
To me a catchall means every "invalid or unspecified email account in a domain" (anything that isn't a pop/imap/forward/alias" gets delivered to the catchall destination, but I don't think I've seen a service where by adding a * MX record every email address within any subdomain of your domain gets delivered? |

I was not clear, I am sorry. I have a domain name on which
dig MX <anysubdomain>.mydomain.tld ;; ANSWER SECTION: <anysubdomain>.mydomain.tld 3600 IN MX 10 mx.mydomain.tld this means that any subdomain has the same MX record. This way I can send any email to "user@<anysubdomain>.mydomain.tld" it requires a MTA with the capablity to catch any "<anysubdomain>.mydomain.tld" to the same mailbox. for example user@contact.mydomain.tld user@info.mydomain.tld user@more.mydomain.tld user@anything.mydomain.tld should go to the same subdomain catchall mailbox. |

Fastmail supports subdomains
Fastmail allows use of subdomains with either aliases at their domain or your own domains.

As Bill knows better than I, there is also a cheaper route to using your own domain if you need to pinch pennies. You can purchase a Family Account ($5 per year) plus one user ($10, $20, or $40 depending on storage needs), and Family Accounts support using your own domain. So you could get your own domain support for $15 (with much less storage), rather than buying an Enhanced Account for $40. If you have multiple users at your own domain, this is actually the most convenient way to go. There is also a similar Business Account package with a different set of user levels/storage.

Subdomain stripping is the process of removing the subdomains from the main domain and delivering the emails to the main domain directly

I should think so. Isn't that the idea? You are asking for all email to a subdomain to be delivered to the parallel address at the main domain.

I haven't noticed much spam to random addresses at my personal domain recently. Instead of using dictionary attacks (trying a wide range of aliases at a domain, hoping to find active email accounts) I think the spammers have so many email addresses they have obtained in data breaches and in other manners they just use those known-good addresses for the majority of their messages.

Use a Catch-All Alias
You may just be able to use a catch-all alias to accomplish that.
