It's funny that you should mention that, because that is my current
solution. I have the domain-add script automatically creating that
postmaster account. But in the odd case (I don't see it happening, but you
never know) where the domain doesn't want any mail accepted (even to
postmaster) I'd like to know how to make it work.
