If you want to just dump emails into a black hole, use ':blackhole:' as
the email address (I forget where I found that little tidbit, but both
sendmail and qmail (at least) know that means to ignore it).

so:

	...
    host_notification_options      n
    email                          :blackhole:
    service_notification_commands  service-notify-by-email
	...

I use this, myself.
