[Hidden-tech] Spam source?

[Jeff Brand]

Don, the errors mentioned here wouldn't have anything to do with the 
receipt of spam.

They indicate that the postmaster@ and abuse@ addresses aren't setup. 
Though "required" as part of the SMTP specification and useful in some 
situations, in practical terms they're just 2 more email addresses to 
spam. The decision to not comply is on HostGator and likely an 
intentional one.

The other warnings would be something to review if there were failures 
in mail delivery which is quite the opposite problem.
