Hi Sandy. Spam filters are being constantly adjusted and the nature of spam is also constantly adjusting so the situation can only be described as dynamic. Spammers have access to the same anti-spam tools providers like us use and they are always crafting their spam to circumvent the filters. In turn the filter-writers are always adjusting their filters to defeat the new spam. Overall email spam is a dying breed as more people use Facebook or other means for communicating. On a day to day basis you're going to see some spam get past the filters. You can use a program like Mozilla Thunderbird to read your mail which has built-in Junk filters you can train yourself to augment and personalize Chebucto's filtering. Other than that pretty much everything we can do is already being done. On Tue, 10 Dec 2013, Alexander E.
