There are two brute force ways to get rid of cancels:
cancel_disable true
Stores but doesn't action cancels.
cancel_reject true
Doesn't even store cancels.
Next you could just enable the spam rules for cancels, this throws away
all those pointless robot
cancels which may get rid of 90% of them, You have to turn on spam
protection with spam_stop true as well.
control_me true
spam_stop true
Lastly you could simply put the cancel messages in their own pile use the
last/next unused pile
pile 6 groups control.cancel use 1% days 1
This will just stop dnews wasting storage for cancel messages.
