Most of them don't notify the postmaster (although ORBS did), because it
significantly increases their workload. If they tell you, there's probably
about a 20% chance you're going to bug them, and about a 5% chance you'll
send them one of the "cartoony lawsuit threats" (originally the words of
ORBS, if I recall correctly). When you're adding a thousand servers a day,
that takes a lot of time to deal with.
Many of them will let you introduce yourself as an ISP, and let you know
whenever any mailservers under your control are listed.
