Mike is correct. Almost all service providers give each customer the option to turn on or off email filtering by the ISP. My point is not to argue which is the best method but I have my ISP filters turned OFF and I use my client program's own filters. Yes, it means I receive a lot of spam but I don't have to open and read any of it that goes into the junk mail box and with the press of one key, it is easily deleted. Other people don't trust their own filters or else don't know how to turn them on so they just let the ISP do it for them.
Most ISPs will hold all the mail that they declared spam for about 30 days in their own junk mail box. Using a Web browser, you can usually open up this junk mail box at the ISP to make sure nothing good is getting in there by mistake. Now whether they offer you the chance to declare something to be not junk for all future mail received is another matter. This is something that your email program can easily do if you turn off the ISP filters.
