If you have normal customer emails coming to your postmaster address, 
you're probably doing something wrong even if you *are* an ISP. If 
you're not an ISP (and you're just a domain name owner), you shouldn't 
be getting messages to postmaster at all.

Basically, postmaster is for ISPs to talk to other ISPs.  As described 
in the email standards, it was originally the only email address that 
had to go to a real person. Nowadays, it's spam bait.

(It boggles my mind that people actually engage in referrer-spam, 
putting Viagra ads in the user-agent string and then reading bunches of 
web sites so curious web site operators will see the ads.)
