I'm also at a bit of a loss as to *why* you would want to do this, but hey... that's the OP's problem, not mine. If you *are* going to do this thing: Wouldn't it be more elegant to have the dummy account's .forward file set up to dump the mail to /dev/null as it arrives? Then, if you want to do some kind of analysis of the messages before 'disappearing' them, you could have procmail pipe them through your analysis script -- *then* off to /dev/null.
