  • From: David Lesher
  • Date: Mon Oct 22 10:43:03 2001

A query to help educate me. Feel free to flame away;
the week is young.

Every site should accept/respond to "postmaster" -- T/F?

Or is it "Every site running mail"....
Or every box running mail?

IOW: Which of the following are required vice recommended vice
best practives, etc.

a)	postmaster@example.com
b)	postmaster@mail.example.com
c)	postmaster@wizzbang.example.com
d)	postmaster@pop.example.com
e)	postmaster@cisco.example.com

and most important to me: where to I go to justify the
decisions on same?
