Frankly I would object to routing such mail to a black hole.  Some mail
coming to the non-quiet postmaster might be important, like someone
complaining about a mail loop or suchlike.  It's probably best to create
a generic address (LSTMAINT, for instance) and have someone tasked to
check that mailbox once a day or at least a couple of times a week if
nobody wants to be responsible for handling the mail in real time.

To simply trash mail coming in to the primary postmaster address just
strikes me as irresponsible.
