Postfix configuration so that it just discards mail?

[Alex Dean]

Cool.

Also, if your apps happen to be PHP based, you can alter some setting  
in php.ini to change the behavior of the mail() function quite a  
lot.  'sendmail_path' can be set to any program you like, so you  
could write your own custom script to handle the mail in any way you  
want.
