FreeSMTP will check its aliases file for the delivery domain as stated in
the configuration file and apply any mapping it finds there.

Newsbase redirects mail for unknown users to the user postmaster.

No.  FreeSMTP has no way of knowing how large the e-mail it is receiving is.
However, the status window will tell you that it is receiving e-mail/sending
e-mail and from whom or to whom it is.
