For each domain that I create in DirectAdmin, should I setup some of the standard forwarders. For example: abuse@domain.com, postmaster@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com, and mailer-daemon@domain.com. If so, I will probably setup these forwarders to be automatically created when a new domain is added and have them forward to the account user for that domain. Are there others, such as root@domain.com, hostmaster@domain.com, etc. that I should add to each site? What do you all do?

We set up the following: abuse, hostmaster, postmaster, webmaster.

hostmaster is probably unnecessary; traditionally it was used for the DNS administrator, but I don't think too many companies do that anymore, and by default it's not what DA uses in DNS setup.
