I wouldn't rely on a spam filter, surely not automatically delete the suspected spam box. Too many mistakes, even on gmail (although it is the best IMO too). I've had emails disappear and was lucky to find them in the spam box. I think it's best to hide the email addresses on this list somehow. That way, at least the worst spammers (the automatic robots that don't enlist, just crawl the web) won't get our inboxes so easily.
