I would rather have the email bounce during SMTP transaction. At least
that way, the sender knows that the recipient won't get the message.
Otherwise, the message will sit unread for 14 days before being
auto-deleted with nobody ever looking at it.
Not having spam folders also nails the "I moved this bazillion emails
into the <misleading-word> folder because I don't want them anymore".
Unfortunately, the user moving messages in and out of spam folders is
a useful signal for the mailbox providers. I wonder if using the \Spam
flag would be a better option. Allowing the MUA to control
presentation altogether.
Worse when they (the receiver) silently discards them... user checks the
spamfolder and their inbox and the sender thinks it all went through and
the email is never seen despite people looking for it and wanting it.
