The dangers of deleting legitimate mail unread should be obvious.

As are the dangers of having any filter which accepts then dumps mail, or tags it for you to delete or worse, bounces it to the purported (forged) sender.

Let's not even go into the systems which issue "challenges" - I get about 50 of those a day on my personal account for mail I didn't send.


If SF won't put filtering out front the easiest solution is to pass mail through another system first and put as much processing in the SMTP transaction as possible.
