Yes, but you also have to put
user = nobody
on the aliasfile director, to specify a uid to run the "save" operation
(assuming you haven't got "user=" on that director already).
In the next version of Exim you will be able to put
user: :blackhole:
in the alias file, and it will throw it away at directing time.
