*shudder*  I'm with Charles here. While you're of course perfectly
correct...

Do rate limit it. Don't generate an annoying "you've got spam" [1]
message for each spam received. That'd be a horribly poor exchange rate.

Where's the advantage, if instead of deleting a spam in my Inbox, I have
to delete a spam announcing message in my Inbox -- plus chasing the spam
folder, to actually delete the spam, too.


[1] Anyone else have that old AOL commercial in mind, with the female
    voice announcing an incoming mail? ;)
