Not if it works.  I have found autodeletion not to work.  Also, I get so 
much spam these days that if I don't check it every couple of days, 
there gets to be too much to check.  The longer you use the filter, the 
more accurate it gets, so false positives become rare and autodeletion 
should be safe.
