Not entirely, it allows you to read the message headers, re-que, delete,
or hold it in another directory.  It's allot easier than using notepad or
some other editor.  Being able to review the message this way allows you
to sometimes see a common thread that some spammers may use.  This can
help some develop better filters and applications to help catch spam.

Not exactly, I actually verify each and every site before I consider listing
them in my kill file or ISP file.  This is a fair amount of work, however,
it has been paying off for us.  The names in the kill file are cleaned out
after X number of days by a program if they have not been in use.  You can
basically consider it a slap on the wrist to those spammers, since they will
move on to another address while other lists get overly congested with
bogus and/or useless addresses.

-> like a virus, spam can be a never ending battle, however,
-> we never stop fighting it.  If we did, McAfee and Symantec
-> would be poor.
