OUCH! My sympathy!

Don't know if it's possible with your servers, but ALL spam my
servers label as such get delivered to Eudora that then filters all
of it into one mailbox easy to review (including preview pane).

If you're getting hundreds a day I strongly recommend changing email
addresses. Seems I have lots less since I adopted addresses with
fairly long nonsense strings including number(s) in middle. And I'm
very stingy giving anyone my email address, and use addresses I don't
check for one-off events like purchases and sign-ups, especially when
the so-called Privacy Policy is their spamming protocol (the public
one).

General comment: Maybe I'm just lucky but the spam I get deserves a
much less edible name: clearly from deepest, foulest bowels of the
global advertising cess pool.

And only the occasional phish hooks me into looking beyond sender and subject.

Better luck!
