If memory serves (which it usually doesn't) the "admin" was reserved in 
previous versions of BX (BQ) but with 5108R you could set it as an alias 
which was perfect.

Looking at the way our current 5108R is set up we already have users 
that have added "admin" as an alias so it must have been possible.  Not 
only that but it seems that if admin has not been set as an alias then 
the admin address is pointing to the admin user account.

This seems perfect to me!  abuse@, postmaster@ and admin@ can all go to 
the admin user unless they are defined as an alias for that domain.  How 
does that sound?
