Yes, you can point Reply-To: at a bogus address, or a /dev/null, but

in fact no such beast?
And if there isn't, should there be?
For news, draft-ietf-usefor-article-01.txt suggests
Reply-To: <>

conformant.
An empty group has valid RFC822 syntax, it might have the desired
effect.
Reply-To: "FYI only, no reply desired":;
