I believe that nowadays most RBL testing includes checking for both
"postmaster" and "abuse", and if either are missing, your site is a
candidate to be blacklisted.  I know that the RFCs (that I know of)
do not require "abuse," but I've found it's a good idea to have it.

I just ignore the "abuse" spam, or, if I'm feeling feisty, chase it
down and get some access terminated.

And no, I didn't plan to have everything about come out justified.
