Exactly! dont use delete until you're an expect - most of us use store
and there is a script floating around here that is crond to remove all
the messages stored that are xx days old+ - MUCH safer. for the first 6
months i also forwared all spam to a spam account on our mail
server...just to be sure i didnt lose anything.

Some one, wiser than me, on this list has said "stopping spam is EASY,
its letting through all the legit mail that is the tricky part"
