Might be a good idea to do this in addition to postmaster@domain, but I
fail to see where this is "better" - Most domains have quite nonsensical
"hostmaster" tech-c's.

I don't see how you can create a false positive on a relay test. Either
the message gets through, and you're an open relay, or it doesn't, and
you're fine. It's quite simple, really.
