I THINK I have the answer on this...

For an alias you would have to deliver to "| cat >/dev/null" (but the preferred way is to discard the message in maildrop).

Do this by simply setting EXITCODE=0 and calling "exit":

EXITCODE=0 exit

Actually, I've recently learned that using EXITCODE=0 has a caveat - if you are using a .courier, it /doesn't stop subsequent delivery instructions/. One must use EXITCODE=99 (delivered) I think.

I learned this from the 'man dot-courier' manpage, and only offer it here because it may be useful to someone.
