I want the From address to be set to something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A mail sent to this address will cause no error, but nobody will
read those emails.
That is a very very bad idea and the best way to have your server added to
many RBLs.

I'm afraid I don't see how sending mail with an unmonitored return
address (i.e., accepted and delivered locally to /dev/null) will get
you on an RBL. I get mail of that type from big companies all the
time. They usually have something in the message that explains that
you should not reply and that replies will not be read. Could someone
expand on the RBL comment?
We have reason to do this for messages that provide automated
information but are not intended to start a dialogue with the
customer. Why is this wrong? It seems to be a rather common practice.
in rare cases , recipients may use sender verify ( which they shouldnt
do these days i.e it makes lot of unneeded smtp traffic , backscatter
and dont work with greylisting in the most cases ) so if you use a
not working/valid noreply@ mail address, mail will not reach
the recipient ( never use no existing domains with noreply@ cause this
will not work with most antispam solutions, never use domains you do not
own cause this leads loosing mail traffic to others ), so use a smtp
working noreply@ with your domains as sender address
but simply dont answer to mails going there, you may silent discard them
