If a spammer can successfully send enough spam to system aliases, then they can effectively cause a system wide denial of service for email and other logging function as /var would be at capacity. So spammers do have a lot to gain by spamming those mail boxes which is why you set up an email address to forward those emails too so your /var or your /mail/spool directories dont get full.
spammers don't want to DoS you (unless you cause them problems, in which case they target you, but then postmaster and others are irrelevant as there are more effective DoS attacks).
anyway, let's kill this thread now.
