Yep. In my world, postmaster and webmaster both get fairly large quantities
of spam, but it's important enough that I be able to receive thos messages
that I just leave 'em whiteholed and grin and bear it. That's why they pay
us the big bucks.  :^)

(In my case, it's actually worse for me-- we use a catchall account, so
dictionary attacks add literally hundreds of invalid users, and I have to
sort through that sludge looking for important messages. The good news is I
get to use lots of spamtraps, and I get lots of spam samples for my
CommuniGate Pro banned body/header lines.)
