Ann, I recommend registering an account at http://SpamCop.net.

They’ll not only filter your emails, but give you the option to report all the filtered spam, with a couple of clicks. SpamCop will submit Spam abuse reports to all the appropriate ISPs. This helps track down spammers and eventually prosecute them.

I’m not affiliated with SpamCop in any way. I just recommend them whenever I see someone talk about spam.

Ann,

If you sign up for a paid account, it’s $30/year, which I think is very reasonable. It allows you to POP in 10 email accounts, filters them and delivers all the good email through a single POP account.

The filtered spam stays on the server. You can view them, choose them all and report them all at once.

It’s really quite convenient, but to be honest, their instructions are NOT the most user-friendly. Some day, I might approach that company and make suggestions for improvement.

If you have any questions about the process, let me know.
