Hello Jennifer, I was not inferring that you had sent any group CC email messages. My reply was in answer to Marcus's query - Re: receiving group messages that show all recipients addresses CC instead of BCC recipients addresses hidden.
That is why I deleted all your text below Marcus's message. In answer to your query: iCloud has very good SPAM/junk mail filters in place on their server which stops SPAM before it gets to your Inbox. You can use the Mail app to mark messages as junk so that later messages from the same sender are automatically marked as junk: In iOS 7 or later, open the message, tap the flag icon at the bottom (top iOS 8.2), then tap Move to Junk. In OS X, select the message and click the Junk (thumbs down) icon in the Mail toolbar. At iCloud.com <https://www.icloud.com/>, select the message, then click the flag icon and choose Move to Junk. Or just drag the message to the Junk folder in the sidebar. The message is then automatically reported to iCloud as junk mail.
