BTW, one solution, I implemented for a buddy -- he wants to be RFC
compliant, and not just "ignore" postmaster email... thus,
postmaster at his-domain gets responded to with this message, using vacation:

 _ _ _ _ _ _ _
From: The Postmaster <postmaster at basementshow.net>
Subject: Pointer to postmaster at basementshow.net

Please contact the Basement Internet Show postmaster at the following
(munged) address:

   webmaster -at- basementshow.net

This message is an autoresponse, placed here in order to quell massive
amounts of spam.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

...this requires a new username, vacation, and an alieas for
"webmaster at domain".
