Am I right?
I would suggest redirecting such messages to another folder/maildir. The folder should auto-purge old messages (e.g. older than 30 days). Shit does happen. I remember at least one case in which mailing list (ham) thread about spammer scored >10. Such very false positives are very unlikely/rare *but* nobody responsible is going to guarantee it will not happen to you.
