It checks to see if the sender is in my contacts

There's a chance someone in your contacts would send you a message with "Stop2End" in it? You must have curious friends.

In programming if you have an easy edge case you can control for you might as well take it. It doesn't really matter that the probability is low.

I personally add a handful of automated systems to my contacts (appointments, time sheet reminders, bills, etc.)

No - it means he wants to receive from some of these organizations.
