I had a couple of customers using lotus notes ... part of their antispam setup was to verify that the sending mail server had an postmaster account. If it didn't then they rejected the email ... seams a little to much work for an MX server, but they claimed it worked well for them.

I had always assumed that the primary mail domain (the domain referenced in MX records) required them but that the other ("child") domains did not. I appreciate the warning re postmaster requirement from receiving mail servers. Do they verify existence of a postmaster account at the sending mail server's domain, or instead, the sender's domain?
