I hold the mail in a separate mailbox (using pipeto.sample-hold
rather than pipeto.sample in /sys/src/cmd/upas/filterkit)
and it also works quite well.  Once a day or two I run mail -f _held
and delete the spam.  I feel bad tossing mail back at people
and I'm on too many low-volume mailing lists that I've
forgotten about.

I also send mail from multiple places so occasionally I send
mail to someone and their response ends up in _held.
I'm much happier with that than having the response get
bounced.
