spam is just weird though on my specifically created 'use for anything and everything' spam email I get virtually zero spam yet on an email account I created but have never ever used other than logging into it every once in a while I get spam
I think people are losing sight of the issue here. There are some of us who've had an @mac.com address for a decade without being bombarded on a daily basis by spam. After we migrated to iCloud, suddenly it was as if there was no spam-filtering on the server side by Apple. We were spam-free until iCloud.
