Definitely wrong.

Writing mail filters like ~/.mailfilter is a user's task. Training their
individual spam filters as well.

And whether you're even permitted to keep the maillog that long depends
on your local data protection laws.



And neither the Return-Path nor the  Received-Lines reveal the precise
date of delivery as the From line contains.
