Spam, spam and more spam
I get at least 20-30 spam emails delivered through Cox mail servers even though my spam settings are set to high. Funny that my desktop McAfee app places most of them in my Outlook spam folder. If M...

Hello Rdchisholm,
Thank you for reaching out to Cox Forum Support. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this is causing. Our Email team is investigating this issue with Cox webmail. As a workaround, you can create a filter to automatically discard messages in your spam folder (see steps below). In addition, when the spam emails get to the Inbox, keep marking them as Spam to help "train" the filters. It may take some time for it to work. If there is anything consistent about the messages you might consider using a filter of your own. Please check the settings on Cox webmail using the settings below. A filter on Cox webmail and on Outlook should reduce the number of spam emails that you receive. Thanks -Karen
1)From the Inbox page click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page
2)Then click on settings
3)Click Inbox

Why doesn't COX have these filters in place for INCOMING email? Why do your users have to become experts at filtering SPAM emails? Cox easily recognizes the spam on their OUTGOING servers, so why aren't those same filters in place for INCOMING emails?
The solutions suggested from Cox representatives on these forums is a useless waste of everybody's time - reporting the SPAM using the "report as spam" button, or sending it to reportspam@cox.net is useless and a waste of time - it changes absolutely NOTHING!
Sorry but your filters don't work. I have many trying to stop all the spam that gets through. Still get the same spam over and over even though I've created many filters to try and stop it. How about not making us paying users try to stop the spam and COX actually do something about it.
