If they're bouncing to postmaster, it doesn't matter what *your* site 
says. You're going to get bounces to postmaster because there's no such 
AOL user or something.

If you can afford the bandwidth, it's not really a problem if you can 
get them tossed out reliably.

Generally, bounces delivered to "postmaster" don't need to be looked at 
unless one of your users asks why it's bouncing after they threw out the 
bounce message *they* received. (Or unless of course it's bouncing 
because you're testing the configuration that isn't working right yet, 
for example.) It's more a "courtesy cc" of the bounce message than 
anything.

Me, I'd throw away anything coming into postmaster until it calms down. 
Nowadays, the postmaster address is useless exactly because of this sort 
of problem.
