I don't know about Qubes (which aren't inherently multi-domain systems)
but on the RaQs all domains have the postmaster alias by default.

And that's not the failed test, anyway, as Santiago has pointed out.

The problem is that no domain is accepting email at
"postmaster@[64.65.134.155]"; there's a relevant rfc (see my last post)
that requires mail sent to both the I.P. and the I.P. surrounded by
square brackets to receive email (postmaster@[64.65.134.155] is just the
test that dnsreport.com tries, and the results are simply an example). 
Somehow his Qube3 and our RaQ3 aren't.
