The normal way would be to put it on moderation, with a human deciding
whether to silently discard it (appropriate when the address is used for
scattering unwanted mail to unsuspecting victims forged into the "From"
header) or reply with a canned message.
Whether it gets into moderation by being sent to a special address, or
by detecting a subject title typical for an unedited reply to a digest
(any useful reply would edit the subject title to refer to the actual
post rather than the whole digest) is a different question.
