FWIW, I set up my servers to authenticate using a "relay" account when sending emails for logwatch, cron and such. They all use the same account. I haven't bothered setting up any restrictions regarding turning off imap and pop3, nor doing anything about receiving email for that account. For handling inadvertent messages to this account, I suppose I could either forward them somewhere, give the account 0 quota, or put that address in the /var/qmail/control/badmailto (and badmailfrom I suppose) files.

At some point in time I suppose it might be nice for qmailadmin to have an option "relay-only" for accounts which would set things up appropriately for such accounts. Don't hold your breath on this though. ;)

Anyone?

That account would only be used for sending. I would need to block pop access 
and prevent the mailbox from storing mail.


That sounds practical to me.
So what's the problem?
