I do something similar.  But a question...

Your last two filters work like this:

  1) filter all mail with recognized addresses to the inbox.
  2) filter anything else to the spam box.

What is your thinking in using these double filters as opposed to:

  1) filter all mail with unrecognized addresses to the spam box,
     while all other mail "falls off the end" of the filter list
     into the inbox.

Just wondering if I've missed some subtlety here... :)
