Most hosted domains I've met come with unlimited email addresses, so 
that email to "webmaster..." will be sent through to the user, along 
with all the other email.

Some allow users to filter on the local part, and pick up designated 
email addresses separately. But most of those also have a bucket for all 
the remaining ones. At that stage its the user's responsibility to make 
sure they pick up all the emails.
