for starters, at account creation time, I create a generic admin account, as well as postmaster and abuse aliases and point them to the generic admin account. I inform my clients that these are "free" user accounts (do not count towards their available account total), and are required to exist. Then every so often I scan the system to ensure that they do indeed exist. If they don't I warn them of the consequences and re-add them. At this time I let my users manage said accounts, but am seriously thinking about changing that policy and having them all routed to a central mbx for daily monitoring.
To the best of my knowledge, postmaster and abuse are the only two required accounts. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Cycle Rider Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2004 2:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Postmaster Accounts? What do you folks usually do with the mail sent to the postmaster account for each domain you host? I doubt my users what postmaster email forwarded to them. Do you forward postmaster email from each domain to one central postmaster account that you as the admin look at? What email accounts are required by the industry in general? Postmaster@, abuse@ ... are there any others that should be set up for each of my customer's domains? Do you set them up as alias' and then forward them somewhere? I know some servers check for valid postmaster accounts when performing spam checks. I want to make sure all my domains are compliant and improve my odds of not being falsely identified as spam due to a bad server setup.
