I'm hosting mail for (quick check) 151 domains and I have
postmaster  
and abuse set up on only 3 of them. Too many people are
doing spam("$_ 
$domain") for every_name_under_the_sun to
make it sensible to  
expose any more aliases than absolutely necessary. Typically
you  
don't get a lot of spam directly to postmaster but you
get shitloads  
of bounces due to spammers spoofing from addresses in that
domain.
