I don't think there's anything wrong with filtering the postmaster 
account's email, especially if you rarely or never get legitimate 
messages there.

Something else you could do: when you send a polite note with your 
reject message to point people to a different address, choose some new 
address which hasn't been found by the spammers yet.  For example, my 
reject message says 'this message looks like spam, if it's not then 
please re-send to notspam at mydomain.com.'  I've set SA to let all mail 
for that address through without filtering it.  So far spammers haven't 
found that address... and if they ever do, then I'll just change it to 
'notspam2' instead.  It's my throwaway 'get out of spamtrap free' 
address.
