Apart from the workarounds and valid concers which were already pointed out, for me, the main reason to avoid using the postmaster localpart for personal mail is the special treatment it receives at many sites: I've made it a habit for systems I set up to drastically lower the amount of filtering, both in terms of smtpd_mumble_restrictions and content filtering, that postmaster and abuse addresses receive. After all, postmaster is the address that other admins will use to contact you if they have problems receiving mail from or sending it to your system, so you don't want that address to receive your usual filtering. This has never been a problem for me because the amount of junk email sent to postmaster and abuse is absolutely negligible. I don't want to know what happens, though, if that address was used every day...
