Is there an RFC about being the Postmaster for all of your client's domains that you host? In other words, would it be ok to have all emails from or to all postmasters go the server admin? Doing so could tell an admin a lot of useful things like, if an email is not reaching a valid domain because of a Spam filter, if you clients are spamming and more. But logic says rerouting mail intended for a client is probably not ethical.

Most of them were handled by five different statements. I have since deleted these rules or I would send them to you.

I'm sure that most of the messages come from 'administrator' or 'postmaster' - a rule with those variables might stop a lot of the messages. Did you discover any rules that worked particularly well?
