Exactly.  So I assume the answer to my question is that "delete" is a fairly
bad idea for an action -- especially if on a server where people might be
joining mailing lists...

Again, agreed.  That's why I was asking.  To see if that is what most people
doing system-wide stuff are doing.  So most people (doing site-wide anti-spam)
are doing "store" and then manually checking for valid entries to whitelist on
a regular basis, correct?
