I can't speak about "most", because Bluebottle is the only C/R system I've ever used, but by default, all incoming mail which doesn't already match the "Approved Sender" list goes into a "Pending" folder, where it's held for a week, and then deleted. Part of my daily mail routine is to check my "Pending" folder for mail from people who haven't figured out how to get themselves approved (or can't be bothered), and then add the remaining spam to my "Blocked Sender" list, which currently numbers about 11,000 addresses after a couple of years of use. (I put my Bluebottle address on my web sites in the clear, which is most of the reason that I get so heavily spammed, but at least my friends can reach me without worrying about triggering spam filter based on content.) There is a monthly vote for new features to add to the system, but apparently only about 10 other users "get" mailing lists, because there are only 11 votes to add the ability to add a mailing list to the "Approved Sender" list, so a bunch of much less important (IMHO) features are higher on the priority list for adding features to the system. If they ever do get around to doing it, then I'll be able to ditch this account, and run everything through Bluebottle.
