I use :blackhole: in my alias file (which I've extended to use * wildcard
matches). Works like a charm :) Don't use :fail: unless you want
bouncebacks generated (which at first I was unaware of and couldn't figure
out why my systems had so many queue files).

Same as above - just use :blackhole: to silently delete since that's exactly
what it does.
