I am concerned about this as well, so we never ever ever send spam to
/dev/null.  We tag it, and send it along, giving the client-side the
power over what to trash and what to keep, and the proper documentation
and HOW-TOs (with pictures) showing our clients how to reduce spam if
they so choose.

The numbers change, but I believe the philosophy is the same.  Sending
the email on may not reduce server load, but it is a more conservative
approach in regards to false positives.

Understood and agreed.  This method of tagging, not deleting is very
safe.  Clients can move spam to a folder and periodically checked.
