If you're not interested AT ALL in reading admin's email, you can just
link his mailbox file to /dev/null:
ln -s /dev/null /var/spool/mail/admin
and you're done! TO see if it worker, just type:
ls -l /var/spool/mail/admin and you should see something like (the most
important fields are the last, from before the -> ):
lrwxrwxrwx admin admin 9 dec 6 /var/spool/mail/admin -> /dev/null
