I was just wonder what is the easiest way to setup and account to go to null,

We have an email account on our domain, that some ex employee used to sign up to a whole slew of newsletters of all manners. it gets hammer, 200-300/day

I figured the easiest way is just to have a # in the .qmail file, but i'm wondering if there is a better way to handle it.

I'm using catchalls, only because the owner wants his address as the catch all, so he is getting hammered with emails from this account

You can't set it up in qmailadmin, but you could create a .qmail-username file in the domain's directory with one of the following:

To ignore the email (dump it, delete it, blackhole it):
#

To generate a bounce which might eventually get the account unsubscribed from some of the lists:
|/var/qmail/bin/bouncesaying 'Invalid account'

Using a .qmail-username is better than creating a user with a .qmail file, since vdelivermail won't be involved with the delivery -- qmail-local can handle it all on its own.

We have plans to add new forward/alias types to qmailadmin to make it possible to create/modify these types of forwards.
