'postmaster' and 'abuse' mailboxes

Hi all,

We are currently in the process of getting certified by Return-Path and we have been advised to have and monitor these two mailboxes postmaster@ and abuse@ They seem to be live somehow because at least they don't bounce, but I would need to know how to make sure they exist and how to monitor them (automatic forward?)

Thanks very much for your help

Guillermo

Thanks venur81308875,

I am not sure I fully understand your point. Do you mean that a regular email sent to our abuse@ or postmaster@ mailboxes would be considered as a bounce and so can be 'read' by the rules?

Thanks very much

Guillermo

I presume yes.

For example, there is an error that is known to be temporary, such as "Out of office", or a technical error and the sender type is "postmaster".

And the reply will come to the email id what we have provided already under mail rule sets and the path provided in previous comment.

Thanks,

Venu
