To be short and simple, is not sending Melkor beyond the Circles of Arda (into the Void) like killing him? Sending him is like "killing him." When the elves are "killed" they go to the Halls of Mandos, so when the Vala Melkor was "killed" they sent him beyond, into the Void. A similar thing, albeit not the same, happened to Sauron. I believe that the spirit of Saruman was taken to the Void as well, because Melkor deserved just as much punishment as Saruman, and if Eru let something like exile happen to Melkor, then the same coul happen to Saruman.
But I digress. Short and simple it is...
