Why are deleted documents reappearing?
A purge interval prevents replication of deletions
When a document is deleted, it leaves behind a deletion stub. When the database replicates, the deletion stub is used to identify and delete the same document in the replica. To save disk space, Notes purges deletion stubs that remain from document deletions according to the replication setting “Remove documents that have not been modified within the last [ ] days.” If Notes purges the deletion stubs before they have a chance to replicate, deleted documents can reappear after the next replication.

DNS blacklist filters overview
DNS blacklist filters are a new and powerful feature in Domino 6 and one of the more effective weapons against spam. With the DNS blacklist filters enabled, Domino will check inbound mail to see whether it originates from a mail server that is listed in one or more DNS blacklists (DNSBLs).
DNSBLs are databases that keep records of Internet SMTP mail hosts that are known sources of spam or permit open mail relaying. DNSBLs are maintained by many sources, both free and fee-based, and their effectiveness varies, so you may need to experiment with different DNSBLs to see how effective they are in your environment.
