Assuming ...
(1) you don't know any of the persons who appear as recipients of
spam sent to you and
(2) assuming further you don't ever want to read mail that is sent to or
from any of those e-mail addresses ...
why don't you just create a new selective download filter to kill all those mails
right on the server?
Ctrl+Shift+s
Selective Download
new
name your new filter (eg "kludges")
Detect by entire header
go to tab: Advanced
action: Kill
Detection method: Any string match
click: Load signal strings from the file
and refer to a plain text file where you list all e-mail addresses
you found in spam mails (apart from your own e-mail of course!).
This file has to list each of those e-mail addresses in a separate
line.
This works fine for me, but it does not download the emails and you
will never find them in your trash, so you will never be able to
browse them to check for any erroneous deletion. Hence it is different
from what you asked for.
