If you just want to be careful, then why not do it this way:

Well, I'm just a newbie, too, but I don't see any value in the second
part.  If you save everything in the folder SPAM, what is accomplished by
also sending it to the bit bucket?  Seems to me that

:0
* ^Subject:.*(\$\$+|!!+)
SPAM

would have the same effect to you AND to the outside world.  
What am I missing?

That the person who asked the original question said he NEEDED the copy
for /dev/null.  Maybe he wants to do something else with mail one day, and
wanted a recipe that could be adapted.
