No. A system wide spam-filter MARKS positive spam and users are told how to auto-trash it. Deleting people's email for them is just evil.

It's best to just give a 5xx error code, reject it before delivery.

If you can run spamd during the SMTP transaction phase. Most servers can't realistically do this.

If you discard it at a high enough level, and statistically you should not
discard valid email, expecially if you are using auto whitelisting.

Depends. I have one user who has about 80% spam and likes it that way (83% currently, actually). Some people, stupid as it seems, LIKE getting spam.
