Fortunately the owners email addreses are excempt from the killfilter, 
otherwise as you quite correctly pointed out I would be in trouble too :-) 

On a side note if anyone is interested in trying bayesian mail filtering 
it is very easy to setup. I would recommend getting bmf (bayesian mail 
filter) from sourceforge.

extract the sources and compile and install it.

Now you have to train it, first of all feed a folder containing a group of 
your normal email to it so that it recognises what is your normail email.

bmf -n -i normal_email_folder

Now download some spam from spamarchive.org and feed it to bmf
bmf -s -i 315.r2

Now edit your ~/.procmailrc and have the following in it,

        # Invoke bmf as a filter
        :0 fw
        | bmf -p

        # Filter spam
        :0:
        *^X-Spam-Status: Yes
        mail/spam



Now as your mail gets delivered through procmail it will get scanned and 
if it is spam it will go to the mail/spam folder.

If you receive a mail which is not spam but recognised as spam, then 
export it as say message.txt and invoke


bmf -N -i message.txt

If you receive a spam which does nto get caught, then export it as say 
message.txt

then 
bmf -S -i message.txt


It gets better with time.
