We generally tell service owners that they need to watch these accounts in case anyone responds to a message.
Most of them ignore the advice and create a "move to trash" rule. We are setup to delete items in the trash older than 30 days which effectively prevents any significant mail accumulations.

I'm not familiar with E2010, but it used to be (E2003 and earlier) that you could specify delivery restrictions on accounts - setting up a restriction of "only from" with an empty list, or a single null account (say an empty DL) should work. It would generate an NDR for denied senders, though, if that's of any concern.
