Re: A very handy way to deal with junk mail

2024-04-21 Thread 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries 
Hi Erik,

I have never had any success with getting Rules to work.  Not sure why.  But 
that’s why I was so glad to discover this solution.
Cheers,
Donna

I wish the same worked better for gmail. Like you, I faced a large incursion of 
junk mail in my iCloud account. Your solution is one of several. Another good 
one involves the use of rules on your mail client (in my case, the mail app 
client found in OS X/XI/XII, etc). So far, it is proving to be a possible 
workable solution. And yes, when you see over 1k spams in the spam folder on 
gmail, you need all the help you can get.

Re: A very handy way to deal with junk mail

2024-04-17 Thread 'Jason J.G. White' via MacVisionaries 
I run my own mail server. I have it configured to train its filter on 
all of the mail that I move into the spam folder. Anything automatically 
placed in the spam folder and later moved out of it manually is 
automatically trained as legitimate mail.


I would expect commercial mail providers to do the same, probably in 
more sophisticated ways.

Apple has an email address that you can use to report junk mail.  All

I was skeptical of whether this would work, but it really does.  
Forwarding these messages has taken me down from about 250 junk mails

As I said, I didn’t know about this until I started googling what to

Re: A very handy way to deal with junk mail

I think that the way it works is that Apple adjusts its filters to filter out 
those emails.  For addresses like gmail, that would be the responsibility of 
Google.

Kliph,

I was getting it at my me.com  address, which is an iCloud 
Addie.  Hopefully you will continue not to get much junk mail, but I thought 
I’d let you know that it can happen, even with an iCloud address.
