Be vary careful doing this as this breaks the address that
administrators will use to contact you if there are problems. I'd
REALLY recommend that you use something other than postmaster and route
it to null. However, it is you own system and you will do what you want
to do.

I was thinking that you would know that you could look in a directory
and see it filling up and stop it before it got to that level, WHEN you
are ready to do the test on what ever version of OS / hardware.
