"to /dev/null" won't work because of how courier tries to deliver mail.  It 
has to do with file locking I think - but the end result is it won't work.  
I'm not sure why you're having trouble with the others.

Here's what I do (YMMV).  I've got a user in my userdb called "null".  In 
null's $HOME directory there's a .courier file with a single newline (\n) in 
it (a NON-empty .courier file).  When I want to drop a message I send it 

to "null"

and it disappears.  Hope that helps.
