Although postmaster is supposed to be a 'required' mailbox, it does not 
mean it is ever read, many organizations redirect it to /dev/null, due 
to people abusing it, like you guys are planning to do. Legitimate 
complaints should go to abuse, and if it does not exist, then postmaster 
may not exist either and the owner of the domain may not care about your 
complaint.

On our system, both abuse and postmaster are redirected through spam and 
virus filters to a ticketing system. We used to have postmaster send an 
error indicating messages should be directed to support or abuse, due to 
Mail Washer plugging the postmaster mailbox since it sends all rejected 
messages to your own ISP rather than the spammers ISP {I am certain they 
will burn in hell}.
