I complained about spam before and it seems like Comcast did something technical that helped reduce it. But now the spam is back in full force today I had to mark over 200 emails as spam/phishing.
Anyone else experiencing the same
Please help me thank you very much

Re: Comcast email spam is out of control again
Yes, that is annoying alright, although no way to stop them from coming, (only server side filtering via your ISP can do this) you can setup MW to auto delete a lot of your spam.
To auto delete senders you have already added to your blacklist for example, click Settings>>Spam Tools>>Blacklist>>Options, tick, "Auto delete blacklisted emails".
You can also set your filters, (Settings>>Spam Tools>>Filters>>click a filter>>Edit) to auto delete by selecting this option under the Actions tab there...
OR.... to set MW to auto delete ANY email that comes in over a specific spam rating, click Settings>>Spam Tools>>Spam Ratings, and tick, "Auto delete if rating reaches:"
Note however, I recommend you read this first before enabling the last option:
