However this means that "spam mail" will STILL enter your systems
taking up resource. It will continue to attract spammers because
as far as they are concerned you have "accepted" the spam. I still
believe the recommendation of making your host spam filter system
is the most sensible option.
But if you choose to ignore experience, that is your decision.
