What script is it you are calling to delete the post? Are you talking about a user deleting it or a mod deleting it? Both of those are different scripts. You'll have different hooks called for each. If a user is doing it in the post, perhaps an editpost_ hook. Go see where those are and if one of them makes sense to use (do a search through your files for "editpost_"). If it's the Moderator dropdown box (so a moderator), then that takes you to the inlinemoderation.php page. Take a look at that page for which hooks are used.
