Marco Fioretti proclaimed on mutt-users that:

You'd do better to
1. Enable spamfilters on the remote account (very easy if it's a shell account
and you can run procmail on it, or your ISP does some spamfiltering / allows
you to set your own filters)
2. Put addresses in your local access.db so that fetchmail will reject those
mails instead of downloading them
3. Take a few (standard) precautions when posting on usenet / lists
