The spool will still contain messages that are in transit, so it will
be empty at most times. but not all times.

given that you want the spool to be empty at all times, a notification
alone is not enough, you also want to discard the original... sounds
like a retry rule is what you want, (or more a "don't retry" rule I
guess)
so, set the retry timeout to zero:

I've never tried tr write an empty retry rule, perhaps it can be
written like this:
* *
or perhaps like this:
* * F,0s,0s
