4.5.     Action discard

  Syntax:   discard

  Discard is used to silently throw away the message.  It does so by

  actions, the other actions still happen.  Discard is compatible with

  all other actions.  (For instance fileinto+discard is equivalent to
  fileinto.)


What confused me a bit, and that's why I asked the list, was the "It
does so by canceling the implicit keep." So if no other rule matched,
then the message would be discarded, right?

Correct.
