Postmaster isn’t really the place for deliverability issues, in my experience. 
The postmasters seem to be more about keeping the system up and running. Most 
bigger networks have dedicated filter staff that are separate from the 
postmaster team. It’s been years since I’ve had any response from postmaster@ 
other than “you need to go *here* for deliverability support.
