I wouldn't fault SORBS for not supporting optional addresses such as
webmaster@.
I would fault SORBS for automatically listing someone e-mailing
webmaster@ though,
as implied above. Whether the actual RFC existed or not.
It's probably true that all the standard addresses are likely to be subject
to abuse. info@ sure is.
However, they should not be listed without at least analyzing the content
of the actual message.
To decide if it is in fact abuse, OR if it's just a human failure,
somebody attempting to contact
an admin address/service that does not exist.
There mere act of attempting to contact multiple standard addresses alone,
is certainly
not proof of abuse.
