Those "postmasters" only have the power to add/remove/edit stuff in
their domain.  Mail directed to postmaster@virtual and abuse@virtual
are set to go to postmaster@your_mail_server.  In the case of abuse
and/or something else the postmaster should know about, its more
important for the Postmaster of the mail host than any of the
postmasters of the virtual domain to know about.  Especially if the
abuser is one of the postmasters :)

This was a design decision we made early on.
