It doesn't erase it from the MUA store or the server, no.

What happens is that all messages that go through pop3proxy get saved
(into the cache directories) on the user's system.  This is a completely
separate copy from whatever the MUA decides to do with the mail (e.g.
put it in a dbx or mbox file).  *This separate copy* is what is erased
by spambayes via the discard button.

HTH.
