Probably not a good idea since sending to postmaster is a common practice when some
experiences problems mailing to a user (I don't get many, but I do get maybe one or
two a month). Postmaster is typically aliases to root, and is a required alias.
You could try aliasing it so that delivery is done to /dev/null -- but again, I
don't recommend it. Also, since postmaster is a required alias it might not work
anyway.
Perhaps a better choice is to alias it to a special cyrus user account to which you
have 'all' privileges set. You can read the mail and delete anything you don't
care about while, at the same time, it doesn't clutter up your personal INBOX.
