Spam Filters Not Working
As usual, my Inbox this AM had 10 very obvious spam messages. My old MailWasher utility had marked all but 1 of those as spam. The Cox Spam folder had 3 messages, 2 of which were not spam. Each morning before downloading my e-mail I go to myemail.cox.net, mark all the spam messages in the Inbox as spam, and mark all the legitimate messages in the Spam folder as not spam. If the Cox spam filter is supposed to learn to recognize spam from this process, it certainly is a slow learner. If a simple third party utility can recognize almost all the spam, why can't the Cox filter perform at least as well?
