What we do is to mark something : as probably spam and let the member delete or not. Ive noticed... I havnt done my mail on EFN in a couple months... last night I spent a few hours going through old mail that had been magily re-marked as new, and going deleteing an additional 1000+ message that have come in since the last few months, most of which was spam (and a lot of eug-lug admin stuff...). I still havnt had the chance look at the 20 or so legitimate mail!
