For my personal domain only three addresses work, and none of the ones 
above are those.  My whois information is accurate so if anyone really 
needs to report abuse they can do so directly to me.

For company domains, I would keep the RFC-recommended accounts valid and 
read by a human.  I would however put them behind a decent spam 
filtering system[0]

Spammers are generally smart enough to avoid emailing abuse@, and 
generally speaking, most companies are atrocious at replying to mail 
sent to abuse@
