In addition to what is mentioned in RFC2142, can anyone offer any resources (or "best practices")
for what can be considered "restricted" email addresses/UIDs for a domain which offers mailbox

otherwise valid in terms of length, characters, etc.
I tend to think that UIDs which one could consider "vulgar" aren’t realistic to
restrict, since those types of feelings evolve over time and are subject to personal and
cultural bias (to say nothing of the wordlist/regex complexity), but it would be
interesting to know if there are addresses which folks commonly feel fall into a
role/reserved type of category and/or should otherwise be restricted to the domain owners
use (or no one's use).

Our standards are that the main domain on the email server should have
'postmaster','abuse','mailer-daemon', as well as any common OS names, eg
'root','postgres','www-data' etc created and restricted.
All subsequent domains should have 'abuse' and 'postmaster'.
