smtpd_*_restrictions (domain or IP is blacklisted) can be tweaked so that
mail to abuse and postmaster is allowed. Make sure to delay the checks
until rcpt_to is received (the default) and first allow mail to abuse
before you reject mail from $bad_guy. There are several resources
available that give examples.

You cannot bypass header_checks nor body_checks using this method.
