Reserved email addresses

sh_o · 2009-03-27 12:22:47

I am looking for a list of email addresses that should be present on a mailserver in order to comply with all the relevant rfcs - does such a list exist or can anyone help me with the list? e.g. postmaster, hostmaster, root, abuse, mail Thanks.

Abuse, postmaster and webmaster for most domains using common services.

Interesting post. Should these names be setup for all domains or is this just for companies providing e-mail services? Will a catch all do which can be forward to a spam account?
