I *am* checking the spam quarantine daily. Yes, it takes about 10 minutes per day with our mail volume. However it is MUCH quicker than sorting them from *many* valid mails in your inbox out. Plus a specified person (or team) can do it for everybody, so it is saved on other users that are more expensive for the company than you are. Plus as a single person you develop quite a good eye only looking for a second or two on the subjects of ~20 mails and seeing if there is a valid mail. Compare this to X users who are not in-to spam filtering techniques too much doing this every day - these are *much* slower. Of course the chance is there that even *you* then overlook valid mail, but the percentage drops to a very low rate. An important thing is what columns you display in your mail program for your spam folder. For example it is important to also show the "To:" column of every mail, because often just browsing this column tells you if and where a valid mail can be.
