Yes.  Procmail is (these days) typically called by the MTA to put your 
mail
into your mailbox.  I recommend reading up on procmail before doing too 
much
with it as it is *very* powerful and can be a bit esoteric.  That said, 
here is
a quick rule that I use to nuke all mail that comes to 
morpheus@granroth.org
(which is 100% spam):

:0
* ^TOmorpheus@granroth.org
/dev/null

Not technically true.  Try "Shift-Delete" to delete a message without 
putting it
into the trash.
