Try to find your spool file and remove the file.
Ususally it should be /usr/spool/mail/boys or similar.

A procmail recipe to kill redistributed error messages:

:0
* ^FROM_DAEMON
* !(^TO|^From|Cc).*(boys|any_other_aliases_you_have)
/dev/null

Procmail is *VERY* *USEFUL* and much better than elm's filter.
Have a look at Nancy McGough's excellent "Filtering Mail FAQ",
which seems to contain the only official user-level installation
instruction :).
