I'm doing something veru close to your methodology. Checking and
sanitizing/validating all input, same for final output, only one e-mail
address, plenty of relevant filtering. And testing by myself and a few
friends to see if they can break.
My ISP is also great at identifying spam or worse and only notifies
in Plain Text messages of same, allowing me to decide whether it's spam
or worse, or not.

It's nice to see validation of one's own ideas.
