Default Isn't there a way to filter the spammers?

I may have read a previous post on why this isn't practical in a
previous post but I can't find it. It has become difficult to
even scan the 'Subjects' and separate the legit ones from all of
the advertising. Sorry for my obvious ignorance.


The spammers keep (on purpose) making new subjects to avoid being
filtered into the trash. So spam filtering is an art, not a science.


And, as swatting mosquitos, an exercise in futility. Learn to dance around
the dog****.
