It should be said, for this specific example, that you should accept
(and deliver to an appropriate place) mail for postmaster as it is an
RFC requirement - see
http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/rfcs/rfc2142.php
So, reject email for unknown-local-user@some-local-domain, but not
postmaster@some-local-domain
