A.1) Not really worth it based on what you've said there.. and for the following reasons:
A.2) Yes
A.3) Both, any automatically generated message has to be carefully implemented.. the whole point of reducing spam is to reduce network load.. so adding more emails to the mix is definately not cricket.
