No, that was gone from the formail line, which reads:

Kenneth Blackwell" -i "Subject: Your message has been deleted" \

sucks up the message text, and the filter replaces the message with
nothingness. It's odd, but it seems that that's what you want.
No, the message (spam-msg) is going out. I've just had a return.
Here are a couple suggestions: you could do the save to spamcanceller
[there's that Canadian spelling again] in raw mode:
:0f: # if you're appending in the filter recipe, do use the local lock
* conditions
| command >> realfolder
:0Ar # no need to lock when nothing is written
spamcanceler
Yes, I've adopted the 2nd one, my lines reading:
:0Ar # no need to lock when nothing is written (David Tamkin)
spamcanceller
I deleted the old file spamcanceller. A new one was created in
mail. Opened, it reads 0 lines. The log reads 0 by this folder line, too,
instead of the former 1. And here's mailstat:
Total Number Folder
----- ------ ------
1332 1 /var/mail/blackwk
0 1 spamcanceller
----- ------
1332 2
So the setup working even better than before, and I needn't be
concerned with spamcanceller overquotaing the account.
