Not only that, but (at least for me) it's really up to the customer,
and the customers want this ability, so I'm very glad it's there.
I was emailing back and forth with Gabriel Ambuehl about the
no-forwarding-postmaster's-email topic, and I accidentally deleted the
last one, but I believe the concensus was that deleting postmaster and
making it just forward to another admin (or even non-admin) account is
feasible because the only thing that relies on postmaster existing is
the code to detect whether a domain is an alias or not, but that code
is no longer needed (or something along those lines), so it should be
ok to whack postmaster. Is that right, Gabriel?
Wow, that was a long sentence.
