I would assume they are also coming into the "postmaster" address which is
the admin address?

We just set a rule on our email client to move them to a folder, so I can
review or delete. You could just trash them then.

I think I would be careful about just dumping them all, since you do need to
know if actual mail you sent or your server is passing is invalid.
