You probably should have an abuse address and a postmaster address, other than that I am not sure what the custom is or what the rfc's say about what email accounts are expected in a domain. Don't forget that your web server (if you have one) may deliver pages that say to contact a certain mail address in the event of problems, obviously that address should be available. Good call. I'll keep root and abuse and you reminded me to add one for the user my shopping cart program runs as. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
