[Herts] black hole emails

Most email servers have a 'catch all' email address that emails go to if there 
is no POP box or equivalent to go to. If you make this an address that you 
don't  poll,  they will disappear (into a black hole). Alternatively your 
email provider should be able to setup the emails to be returned to sender or 
deleted if not sent to a valid address.
