For a mail service operator it would actually be unacceptable. But for *end
recipient* it's a different story.
It's your own (ie. your company's) server, so you represent an *end
recipient*, not a mail service operator, and any action you perform, you
perform as (or on behalf of) the end recipient.
No recipient has an obligation to read all mail that's coming to them (well,
maybe lawyers view it differently? ;)). Delivered doesn't mean read. 
Accepting a message and silently discarding it is no different from deleting
a message without even opening it - only the former is automated, but this
automation is authorized by you - it's you who, as the end recipient, set
the rule to discard messages. You are absolutely allowed to do it.
