You could do this, but if you use the Rules feature rather than the Spam
Filter feature, you can tell it which senders or recipients or subjects to
delete individually. It's a small nuisance, but there is some satisfaction
in consigning each spammer to the outer darkness as they pop up. When I
download my mail these days, my Deleted Items folder fills up at twice the
rate of the Inbox folder.
