You mean, you don't employ *any* spam mitigation techniques besides sorting? Because if you do anything, even as basic as RBLs, you're not being consistent with your stance.

To me, there is a huge difference. I send no mail to Dave Null, everything goes into a spam folder. Do I read it? Do I review it from time to time? Never. It is too huge. So, what's the point besides bringing money to hard disk manufacturers? It is because, if someone reports (by telephone, IRC or IRL) that he sent an email and I did not receive it, I regard as VERY IMPORTANT to be able to check the spam folder (with a search tool, not by hand) and go back to him saying "No, we really did not receive it". In a professional environment, I would not accept the idea of email disappearing without being able to recover it.
