postmaster account

When sending an email from a user@domain.com to postmaster@domain.com, the email is bounced back:

Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:

Recipient address: postmaster@domain.com
Reason: unknown or illegal alias: postmaster@domain.com

I cannot either send an email to pma@domain.com:
Error 5.5.1......

During installation of Messaging, I specified pma@domain.com as Postmaster email address. For unknown reason, Messaging does not accept postmaster@domain.com (Why?)

I checked the userDB. cn: postmaster exists and it has
mgrpRFC822MailMember: pma@domain.com
mail: postmaster@domain.com
mailAlternateAddress: postmast@domain.com


What should I do to have postmaster@domain.com working?


thx
