I see no good reasons whatsoever why personal domains should be
exempted. My systems refuse Email if a callback to postmaster fails, and
accepting mail for postmaster is indeed a "MUST" according to the RFCs
If I have problems with your domain, I will Email postmaster and won't
know (or care) if it's a domain with 1 user (you) or 10,000+
