Since updating to 9.2.1 now my only issue is my plesk admin email address is receiving spam backscatters from my own servers mailer daemon to postmaster.
I suspect the postmaster at my server is simply relaying these to the registered admin users address.
They are backscatters for non existent addresses. How do I blackhole the postmaster alias on my server? I an getting 100s per day.
Again to clarify it's the server postmaster, not the individual domains postmaster that already blackholes.
Thanks!

Re: plesk 9.2.1 postmaster emails
I generally set up a hosting account to match the server's hostname (which for our systems also matches the contents of /var/qmail/control/me) . Then I can create postmaster@, root@ etc and whatever else I want. And if need be I can create an address without a mailbox in order to blackhole something.
Maybe things are different in Plesk 9 though?

Re: plesk 9.2.1 postmaster emails
That really needs to go into a Plesk "Best Practices" FAQ
Re: plesk 9.2.1 postmaster emails
Fixed 
I found good old postfix-queue (the binary from parallels) is once again segfaulting in /var/log/messages
I then examined the server level generated emails it's a software fail in postfix due to stupid parallels postfix-queue segfaulting. This happens on postfix level blocks (non existent mailnames, or RBL blocks).
I then modified main.cf in /etc/postfix to disable software failure logging and memory failure logging (it logs these by default)
So you just have to add in
notify_classes =
Cheers,

I have backed up the postfix-queue and installed the good old April 20th hotfix.
The segfaults have gone!
Mail is all sending and receiving, so I stick to this postfix-queue until they actually fix it.
I don't think you can trust the timestamps of all these hotfixes are any relation to the version.
I got a FC7 and FC8 all segfaulting and all now stopped with the hotfix.
Scott - I have the complete binaries for all OS and versions should you want it for atomic incase parallels pulls it.
Everyone using postfix should
grep segfault /var/log/messages
