Does the email spam filter "learn"???
I seem to get spam from the same sources day after day after day. I dutifully send to the spam folder (which I empty daily). Is there a minimum time for the messages to remain in the spam folder for ...

I have the same problem. It was quiet for a while, but for the last month or so, I have been bombarded with spam emails for places like Wild Alaska Seafood, Andersen Windows, mortgage companies, car insurance quotes, and Certified Santa Letters. I report them all as spam, yet nothing seems to be done. It’s only gotten worse as time goes on. The only way to block them is to create spam filters for key words, but that’s not only time consuming, it may also block out legit emails. Just feel like it’s time for Cox to update its spam filters, but it seems nothing is being done.
I'm getting them from the same companies. Are you sure that Cox hasn't sold our contacts to 3rd party vendors.
I get about 4-6 every day, and they all come through between 3 and 7 AM ET. I have now created about 100 filter rules to get rid of them, but they change the spacing of the words on each new one to beat the filter, so I end up creating new ones, and the cycle continues. I feel like someone has sold my info to a 3rd party vendor in the last couple of months. It may have been Cox, or it may have been my state’s DMV because I renewed my license a couple months ago, and the influx of spam started about then. What really irks me TO NO END is that Cox seemed to have it under control for a while, but now it has started again, and it seems Cox has done NOTHING to squelch this round. And the fact that others, including my mom who has an email account under me, gets the same messages, tells me this could be a Cox issue with my info being sold to these bots.
I've had the identical experience - seemed good for a long time, then bombarded the last couple months, always early AM, same 8 - 10 sources. I guess I'll try above suggestions (not hopeful). Gmail sure has a superior filter...
