I would rather have the email bounce during SMTP transaction. At least that way, the sender knows that the recipient won't get the message. Otherwise, the message will sit unread for 14 days before being auto-deleted with nobody ever looking at it.
Not having spam folders also nails the "I moved this bazillion emails into the <misleading-word> folder because I don't want them anymore".
Unfortunately, the user moving messages in and out of spam folders is a useful signal for the mailbox providers. I wonder if using the \Spam flag would be a better option. Allowing the MUA to control presentation altogether.
