RFC2821 would be a good place to go to justify decisions on same. (Well, to justify a decision to implement postmaster () any domain for which mail is.accepted, and to implement "postmaster". It wouldn't really help you justify a decision to not implement that. OTOH, if someone is arguing that the the mere existance of xyz.com implies that postmaster () xyz com must exist, then I would note that neither RFC2821 nor any other RFC of which I am aware imposes such a requirement. As long as @xyz.com isn't being used for any mail, there is no requirement for postmaster () xyz com to exist.)
Some country-TLD registrars do have this requirement, however. Greetz, Peter -- Monopoly http://www.dataloss.nl/monopoly.html
