I'm not sure you can, but I'm resaonably sure that this would violate
the RFCs.  You're asking an RFC-compliant mailserver to accept mail and
then quietly drop it into the bit bucket without notifying the sender?
Nasty, nasty...

One way to approach this would be to accept the mail but write a
procmail rule that drops the e-mail into dev/null.
I believe that simply his will do it but I have not tested it...

       :0
       /dev/null
