I disagree. if the sender's isp or company is blacklisted then they
should be rejected. we do delete the email since it's 99.999% a bad
address anyway. if we don't do this then people wont have a strong
reason to not be on a blacklist.

As a matter of policy on my servers I DO NOT delete email. I segregate it
either to a single box for the domain or to a spam box for the user. Also by
policy I let nothing stay in the spam box more than 7 days. User who think
something was flagged as spam can log in to their spam box or view it with
web messaging to check.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] SPAM List Problem
In other words, in my opinion, no E-mail should ever be deleted based on
the results of a single spam test. I haven't yet seen a spam test with a
low enough false positive rate that E-mail should be deleted based on it.
Let me also add: be *VERY* careful in trusting people to delete your
E-mail. Just as you wouldn't let a random person off the street have
access to delete your E-mails, you shouldn't take the advice of someone
you
don't know. Just because one person isn't aware of having deleted
legitimate E-mail based on a single spam test doesn't mean it is safe for
you to delete E-mail based on that test.
