I know how to do it in MTA I use (so far sendmail).

IMHO such "virtual_postmaster_fallback: 1" option [ or
"virtual_fallback_mailboxes: postmaster abuse" ] should be easy to
implement in Cyrus IMAP and it can help to avoid "postmaster
noncompliance" problems in a simple way.

I think it is mostly "make things simpler" suggestion.
