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.
How long do you think a responsible mailadmin need to train filter.
Btw. even here in Germany, where we most likely have the most restrictive laws regarding the protection of personal data, I am allowed to keep the maillog as long as I can show that the log is needed to satisfy user requests.
And neither the Return-Path nor the Received-Lines reveal the precise date of delivery as the From line contains.
Nonsense.
Every RFC conformant received line contains the full date-time as specified in RFC 5322. Nothing else is taken into account for the mbox
From line.
