   Any notion of a "delete_mail" threshold must reside within your
qmail setup and not within SpamAssassin.  SpamAssassin *only* tags
e-mail as *possible* spam; it *never* deletes it.  Any deletion of
tagged messages (note that I did not say, "spam") is up to the
delivery agent that follows SA in the delivery pipe.

   As delivered, SA *cannot* delete e-mail.  Nor, in my humble opinion,
should it.  Sooner or later you *will* get a false-positive, and if
your system is designed to delete tagged-mail then you *will* lose
that message, irretrievably, forever.

   Cheers.
