Forum Discussion
The reason I want to use their filtering is that my wifes email has become inundated with spam.
the automatic spam filter for cox does not work well. I want to stop them before they get to the inbox. also I am not getting notifications to replies here even though I have subscribed to my own thread.
You can't do what you want to do. But there are things you can do.
1. Set your Spam settings to "No Spam filtering". Spam filtering just redirects some email to the Spam folder. It still needs to be reviewed in case Cox sent a wanted email to Spam.
2. Create this Filter Rule:
Condition: From Contains newsletter Action: Discard
That one rule should significantly reduce Spam that hits your Inbox.
3. Review Spam you receive and add rules similar to the one above for the worst offenders. Continue to do that and Spam will be reduced.
