Unix without an MTA???
Why not install exim, then look at the filters section of the docs.
Exim can do the same kinds of filters as procmail for each user. Don't
have an alias for root's mail, put a filter in /root/.forward (or
wherever its supposed to go; its been a while), and then have that
filter put the mail wherever you want.
If you really don't want the mail, the filter can delete it without it
being read.

nah.. instead of configuring a package i don't want to install in the
first place i just run a cronjob that de-installs the MTA every 30
minutes using
dpkg --force-all --purge exim4
..so i can run updates and the cronjob makes sure it turns out the way i
want it..
