Isn't it their job?

Yes and no. They're responsible for addressing the real problems, and those issues are sometimes missed or lost to the shear volume of bogus messages that surround them. It's also managements job to try to streamline things so that engineers are not wasting valuable amounts of time on things like mailboxes full of spam. If I can optimize that task and save a few man hours a week, I will.
