My idea is that the simplicity should probably rule here. These usually
already have an entry in /etc/aliases, redirecting to root. Why not
just put this in /etc/aliases instead:
daemon: :fail: No mail to system accounts
bin: :fail: No mail to system accounts
sys: :fail: No mail to system accounts
sync: :fail: No mail to system accounts
games: :fail: No mail to system accounts
man: :fail: No mail to system accounts
lp: :fail: No mail to system accounts
mail: :fail: No mail to system accounts
news: :fail: No mail to system accounts
uucp: :fail: No mail to system accounts
proxy: :fail: No mail to system accounts
postgres: :fail: No mail to system accounts
www-data: :fail: No mail to system accounts
backup: :fail: No mail to system accounts
operator: :fail: No mail to system accounts
list: :fail: No mail to system accounts
irc: :fail: No mail to system accounts
gnats: :fail: No mail to system accounts
sshd: :fail: No mail to system accounts
mysql: :fail: No mail to system accounts
sympa: :fail: No mail to system accounts
fetchmail: :fail: No mail to system accounts
Debian-exim: :fail: No mail to system accounts
clamav: :fail: No mail to system accounts
To make it both clear and simple what you want? Locally submitted email
is accepted before sender verification in most onfigurations, so it's
harmless, it seems.
