By definition in the RFC's (remember those?) all email-related problems should go to the postmaster. Some ISPs have set up an abuse address specifically to handle spam problems; retaining the postmaster for more traditional problems. Unfortunately, we frequently find domains with a disabled or /dev/null-ed postermaster address. Adding an abuse address would accomplish nothing. If they don't have a working postmaster, it's not real likely they'd have a working abuse address either.
