I suppose you can call it an illusion but there's something to be said for
having UCE dropped into a separate folder (or /dev/null) so you don't have
to be bothered with it. I'd call it a "cost saving" in that it becomes a
hell of a lot less annoying (and, if you're into reporting such email abuse
there is the added benefit of having the email so you can go to work on it).
