/dev/null is just the proper repository to recycle bits. We don't want to

In all seriousness, I guess it depends on who you ask. For the original
poster's case, it's going to a "noreply" address, and I've seen cases
where nore...@foo.bar is simply eaten, more often than not, rather than
rejected. Besides, as far as I'm concerned, it does serve as an extra use:
messages to noreply or similar black hole addresses can serve as a
receptacle for flames. Some yutz can decide he's going to e a jerk and
flame somebody that doesn't actually exist - s/he feels good about
{him,her}self in theory, and the only thing tat sees the message is
postfix, which just relegates it to nothingness - leaving it to tie up
storage resources only for as long as it takes for Postfix to chew on it.

addresses to /dev/null himself)
