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.
