Yes, but if this onslaught of junk keeps bringing down the system, or
threatening to bring it down, then obviously we must do *something* about
it.

The vast majority of the email that comes to me (and possibly to everyone,
these days) happens to be Spam. I seldom have to inspect any of it: what it
is is immediately clear, just from the Title or the From field. If either
of these are blank, that's a dead giveaway as well. I could zap a million
of these things, and maybe just kill one or two legit items inadvertently.
