Not using the regular Inbox filters.  You can load a file for
Selective Download filtering, but I think that this would be a very
slow way of sorting out spam.

Is the spam domain list is the best approach? Spammers change the
email addresses and domains regularly, so most of the domains listed
will no longer be used, and just slow your filters down. I rely on a
small number of rules to delete 90% of the spam I get - I am confident
enough of them to use them as Kill rules in a Selective Download
filter, although I use an Ignore filter to hold suspicious messages.
Those that get through I send to Spamcop, and adjust my filters if
required.

I am sure you can guess the kind if words to filter on - my kill
filter includes:

btamail.net.cn
2002 Gov Grants
spinformillions
email-4-prizes.com
Viagra
