Take one days junk and send all of it to you ISP support address, with a letter from you saying I get this everyday, please stop it. If this little mac mail can filter 50 or 200 and miss one a day, certainly the ISP's can do a better job, if no complaints, the ISP will ignore it. Mine said for a dollar a month we will do a better job.... I sent them a new load of junk the next day.
I'm unwilling to use ISP-level filtering. Even one missed legitimate email is too much. With Mail's filters, I can catch the false positives right away, as I scan new mail (which I do many times a day). With EarthLink's system ("Spaminator?") I'd have to go to the web site and sift through a much larger list (unless I checked it 8 or 10 times a day).
As far as "missing" one per day, that depends on how you define it. It actually misses more than that (i.e., allows junk through every now and then). More important to me are the false positives (legit mail marked as junk).
I haven't seen or heard of any ISP-level spam filter that doesn't catch some legit mail. And since I do a lot of business via email, I don't even want to put up with a delay of hours, let along days. I'm sure it works for many people, though.
