We feel that rejecting a mail to postmaster "because it looks like it has 
spam in it" defeats the purpose of the postmaster@ address, especially if 
the mail to postmaster is about something the postmaster is directly 
responsible for, such as an autoresponder that reflects spam, and we 
respectfully request that postmaster submissions of domains that do such 
rejecting be accepted.
