Hi all,

I'm trying to drop messages without any further processing. I've worked on my filters for a while and have them working perfectly, but the "to" command seems to want a real mailbox, or a file which isn't any better for me.

What I wanted was "to /dev/null" but that doesn't work. I assume that's because it is trying to create a Maildir mailbox.

My workaround has been to let the messages accumulate all day and then use a cron job to delete them at night. But there has to be a way to tell maildrop to dump these messages into the old bit bucket immediately.

I've seen other postings about this question, but no answer. Is there a way to do this?

If there is no solution can someone come up with a patch that adds a special case to the "to" command? Something like "to dustbin" would be nice.

Thanks.
