I would not recomend doing so, but it is up to you.

We have fairly extensive spam filters including some procmail rules,
duplicate checking, tuned spamassassin, and archived bugs that refuse
all mail. About 100,000 messages/day are dropped, and about 50
spams/day make it through.
I check messages with medium spamassassin scores or that someone
requests via the web interface or email to owner@bugs after they get
through, and delete them from the bug logs. That's almost certainly
what happend in this case.
>* Is it wise to drop messages to the ML?
They have thier own filtering, but I think messages from the BTS score
lower. They arn't yet dropping spam from their archives.
