James, I can't talk about the changing the setting - but you shouldn't get
rid of POSTMASTER

RFC 822 section 6.3   specifies that postmaster must be valid, and some
places get super-cranky if it doesn't exist

Hi All!



We are using Microsoft Data Loss Prevention and have discovered that if
you get a notification that you violated a policy the email is coming from
postmaster.  We would like to get rid of our postmaster account because it
really is a carryover from our GroupWise days and up till now served no
purpose.  From what I am reading, that setting cannot be changed but I
thought it would be good to query the list and see if there is anything
that we can do to have the email come from another mailbox that we can
monitor and respond if needed.
