POSTMASTER@, and ABUSE@, are both required accounts for every domain hosted. Both accounts must be monitored and responded to by the MX server operator.
You have to setup a POSTMASTER account, for each domain, point it to a working account, monitor it, and respond to inquiries.
You also have to setup an ABUSE account, for each domain, point it to a working account, monitor it, and respond to inquiries.
An ALIAS can be used in lieu of a user mailbox to save licensing fees, if required.
RFC 822,
RFC 1123 and
RFC 2821 require that all domain's mail servers should accept e-mails to POSTMASTER@. To be compliant you can create an alias and forward all postmaster's e-mails to a valid mailbox.
RFC2142 requires that all domain's mail servers should accept e-mails to ABUSE@. To be compliant you can create an alias and forward all abuse's e-mails to a valid mailbox.
