As far as I can see according to RFC 5321, there is only one reserved mailbox name: postmaster

Some time ago I saw a document containing one or two other special mailbox names (I think they were dedicated to preventing or reporting spam abuse), but can't recall where I saw it.

Are there, in fact, any other reserved or commonly used standard mailbox names besides postmaster?

The only rfc-required address is indeed postmaster. I recommend creating a abuse mailbox as well for reporting spam/hack attacks. hostmaster is a common address for DNS related requests.

rfc2142 lists other commonly used mailboxes
