You can configure for example

Set($RedistributeAutoGeneratedMessages, 'privileged');

so that all messages which have "Precedence: bulk or junk"
, AutoSubmitted or X-FC-Machinegenerated set in the mail header, 
will only generate mails
to recipients which are privileged users.

I have additionally in my procmail config stuff like

>>
:0fh
* Precedence: list
|/usr/bin/formail -f -I "X-FC-Machinegenerated: true"
<<
