Spam filters at ISPs are deliberately loose so some spam will leak through. Users are far more sensitive to false positives (good mails tagged as spam) then they are for false negatives (spam that doesn't get tagged). E-mail providers (that are not ISPs) often have tighter spam filtering or it can be adjusted regarding its aggressiveness. What is missing is that you need to employ a local or client-side anti-spam filtering solution. I know some folks that like Mailwasher but be warned that the free version is so crippled that it is crap. You can trial the paid version to decide if you want to use that product. SpamPal is free and provides several mechanisms to detect if e-mail is spam. There are some e-mail providers, like SpamCop, that are highly energetic in reducing any spam delivered to your mailbox. It's up to you how to use something MORE to get rid of spam than the obviously weak spam filter at whomever is your current e-mail provider. |

Gmail is free and does not allow any spam in.
