Make them aliases and route them to a central postmaster account for monitoring....and get good spam/virus detection on them or you'll get flooded. You'll get maybe one or two valid emails per million other than bounces from other servers.
We went one extra step and auto-respond to all messages to these addresses, notifying the sender of a separate address to use for abuse/UCE/UBE reports and to contact the postmaster.

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. Thanks for your help all who choose to respond!!!! _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
