Or you might want to consider RFC compliance.

Loosely stated in the RFC's for the SMTP protocal..   'postmaster' should
be a valid mailbox.  and should always work.   I would assume it should
even work for domains you blacklist. (There COULD be a legit need for a
blackholed domain to get in touch with the mail administrator.  For
example "Hello,  you've blocked me,  what should I do to secure my
mailserver?  would you be so kind as to help?")

If you allow mail from all domains to 'postmaster'   none of your
customers/clients will recieve the spam.   only tme mail administrator
will. He/She can take whatever steps they decide upon.  Including but not
limited to..   sending an email to the mail admin of the domain in
question,  reporting it to various third party organizations (al la
spamcop.net) or simply deleting the email.


Of course,  everyone has their own opinions.   Mine happens to be "comply
with the standards. Thats what they were written for."
