I don't use aliases. Since my domain is hosted at FM, I've just used Sieve rules forever and a day to sort emails into appropriate places and to filter out email addresses at my domain that have been compromised and at which I would receive a lot of spam.
Your suggestion to create an alias for an address I don't want to receive email at, and then disable the alias, is a good one. It is also simple, and doesn't require me to go into my Sieve rules to add an address to discard silently, which keeps my Sieve rules shorter, and thus easier to maintain.
I'll give this a try!
Thanks for your help.
