Yes, but what i meant was that i save the spam messages for a
while in case one turns out to be a false positive, and an
important user wants it back.  And also so i can look through
them periodically to monitor bogofilter's performance.  Basically
i was recommending against discarding spam without having some
way to (at least theoretically) review it in some manner before
it disappears irretrievably.  Of course this is just a judgment
call -- it's not required.  But how else would you know whether
or not it's safe to trash your spam in the first place?  :)
