This has *always* been the case on BlueOnyx.

Postmaster is an account you're required to have as per RFC definitions.
So we make sure that all postmaster related emails to any domain ends up
in the admin mailbox.

Because if it wouldn't, then you would be able to have sites without
users and these sites then have no postmaster alias. We also would then
need to be super picky and need to somehow make sure that you (as the
admin) somehow make sure that all sites have at minimum one user and
that this user has the postmaster alias for that Vsite.

We can't really do that as it would be super-restrictive to the way
people set up their boxes and their sites.

Hence: All "postmaster" related email goes to "admin".

[root at kosh ~]# cat /etc/mail/aliases|grep postmaster
mailer-daemon:  postmaster
postmaster:     root
info:           postmaster

There you go. Delete or modify that alias at your own risk.
