When I first signed up for a .Mac account I never received junk or spam mail. In the last few months, I have been receiving it non stop. It's almost as bad as AOL in the amount and how foul it is.
The Junk mail filter does a poor job with screening the new spam, maybe because how the spammers are sending.
Other then changing my .Mac email address, does anyone have the same problem and know how to stop it, or filter it better then how the Mail app. does?

After some training, the Junk Mail feature of Mail.app can be pretty good at its job.

What I do is combine the Junk Mail with the SpamCop service. After submitting some spams to SpamCop, I usually have some weeks/months of tranquility free from spam, then starts again. I just submit the new spammers, and again stop.

But it is a never-ending issue...
