I think you're misunderstanding the issue. He has a problem with
rfc-ignorant being strict in their interpretation of the RFC
requirements. It's not mail to *his* postmaster/abuse aliases that's
the problem.

My comment: if you don't want to be strict in *your* interpretation of
the RFCs then disable the RFCI rules by setting their scores to zero.

And if you think they aren't justified in specific cases (e.g. Yahoo)
then write a rule for Yahoo messages that offsets the RFCI score.

But if the stated purpose of the BL is "this domain does not have a
working postmaster address" then it's unreasonable to ask them to
exclude a domain that does not have a working postmaster address, no
matter how large or popular that domain is.

  the most wise, depository of the public interests.
