Set up an account for just this purpose (called "null" or whatever you want) 
and put a .courier file in the home directory which has a single "\n" in it.  
(i.e. it's a non-zero length file that has no instructions in it.)  Then use 
this account whenever you want to thrown away messages.  So instead of 
aliasing the account to /dev/null (which won't work) alias it to "null" (or 
whatever your account name is).
