Setting abuse and postmaster addresses

[Aza]

MXtoolbox and various mail configuration checkers report that they can't reach postmaster.mydomain.tld
("mydomain" and "tld" are placeholders for illustrating the fictitious server at 69.097.151.22). Here's an example:


Mailserver rejected mail to postmaster. Mailservers are required by RFC822 6.3, RFC1123 5.2.7, and RFC2821 4.5.1 to have a valid postmaster address that is accepting mail. The Mailserver provided is:
69.097.151.22 | unexpected response to [RCPT TO: ] | 550 No such recipient here
FAIL

Mailserver rejected mail to abuse. Mailservers are required by RFC2142 Section 2 to have a valid abuse address that is accepting mail.
69.097.151.22 | unexpected response to [RCPT TO: ] | 550 No such recipient here
INFO

Where (path & file) are the "abuse" and "postmaster" addresses set?

In my case I'm on CentOS7 with exim using a default DirectAdmin installation.

You can use two options.
Either use /etc/aliases to point to postmaster and abuse addresses.

The better way is to just create those addresses in your user level email management or create forwarders for it there.
