Why don't you use SpamAssassin or another spam filter?
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_add_custom_spamassassin_rules_f 
or_content_filtering.html

For SpamAssassin put

(setq mew-spam-prog "sa-learn")
(setq mew-spam-prog-args '("--spam" "--single"))
(setq mew-ham-prog "sa-learn")
(setq mew-ham-prog-args '("--ham" "--single"))

To get spam tagged messages to be deleted automatically, add:

(defun mew-spam-assassin (val)
   (let ((case-fold-search t))
     (if (string-match "yes" val) ?D)))

(setq mew-inbox-action-alist
       '(("X-Spam-Flag:" mew-spam-assassin)
	))

Best,
C.
