I agree that Cox's SPAM filtering is doing a lousy job, as I receive about 10 spam messages every day, and I dutifully forward them to spamreport@cox.net each time I receive one. I further have started relying on my e-mail client to blacklist the domain name of every spam message I receive. However, even that doesn't seem to do much good as just one character difference in a domain name means that my e-mail client will not catch it, and these *** spammers can easily and continually make changes to their addresses.
Cox -- you've really got to do a better job. I suppose I could start using another e-mail address, but that doesn't seem be an acceptable solution as I'll have to notify all of my contacts about my change and many, many websites use one's e-mail address as userIDs. If I have to go to that extreme, it might be better to find an ISP that really has reliable span filters.
