First for the TMDA, part. In my .tmda/config I have:
BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
The address [EMAIL PROTECTED] is dropped by qmail.
Now for the qmail part:
In a qmail dot file ("man dot-qmail") a "#" signifies a comment. If you
create a dot file with only a comment in it, qmail drops the message.
This is equivalent to having a .forward file with "/dev/null" in Sendmail.
For example, system wide I have a file:
[machine]:~# cat /etc/qmail/alias/.qmail-nobody
#
And in my personal account I have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> cat .qmail-nobody
#
For each of my domains I created a symlink:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ls -l .qmail-stassart-nobody
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user group 13 Nov 13 10:27
.qmail-stassart-nobody -> .qmail-nobody
This creates a dropped e-mail address for each of my domains.
