I'd hate to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Norton Antivirus does 
the trick for defending from incoming viruses. I have a mail handler that 
puts all the stuff from this list in a single folder for me. And Norton 
AntiSpam does the trick for filtering out the crap from the nasties.

If you adopt your proposed strategy, you'll also never know when people 
BCC you on non-list email.
