Postmaster going somewhere valid (preferably that a human reads) is a
requirement as per one-or-another RFC, is it not?

When I get legitimate e-mail bounced by my gateway at work by ORBS and
I track down someone at the offending domain to tell about it, as
frequently as not I find that they have no valid "Postmaster"
destination.

Ironically: one time it was one of those organizations that does ISO
9xxx certification. Another time an ISP. (Tho he had a valid
"Postmaster" destination, he never read the e-mail that landed there
because "he got too much." Wow.)

Regards,
Jim
