I believe the posting of those contacts are stipulated by RFC. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2142.txt

4.  NETWORK OPERATIONS MAILBOX NAMES

   Operations addresses are intended to provide recourse for customers,
   providers and others who are experiencing difficulties with the
   organization's Internet service.

We send ours (admin,webmaster,security,etc) to a shared IT Administrative mail box which is monitored by the head of IT and all SysAdmins and have a priority for who we prefer to deal with things depending on who's in. As new issues arise, we deal with them locally or escalate to our Marketing VP (does customer relations). We explain the various costs and technical views of things, and whatever is decided gets put into the Wiki as policy for future instances.

What Matt said, its good to give it to someone who has direct authority to deal with them.

I think it's generally a good idea to have complaint emails go to the people who have both the power and responsibility to handle them. If you've got a team (or person) in charge of email administration, that is where I would suggest (after discussing it with them, of course. That could be a rude awakening).

    Who handles your abuse@ mailbox?  Where does that
    person/group/organization report into, at the executive level? If
    there's a requirement to publish such a contact, who says so?  (ARIN
    comes to mind, but is it from higher up, or does each region have
    their
    own rules, for IP address space.  And for domains?)

    Someone asked me what I knew about this, and I realized I didn't know
    much.  So I'm polling LOPSA.  Googling finds lots of abuse
    contacts, but
    not so much metadata about them, in particular best practices.  (Not
    without needing half a dozen more search terms like "-substance".)
