Best of luck. I would seriously suggest NOT /dev/nulling suspicious e-mail. I've seen a fair number of false positives. And... well, as for 'viewing' the e-mail - I for one would not give my services to a company that will read e-mail based on the content. If I send a message and somehow put some keywords in there that get it flagged as Spam, and then someone reads it?? No thanks...
