I run my own email server at home and have a mail gateway that filters out all of that stuff. And yes, legitimate mail still gets lumped in, but I don’t deal with junk mail nearly as much as I used to.
The way I figure it is if a legitimate entity is trying to contact me but continues to get stuck in my mail filters, they’ll reach out to me through some other method. Otherwise, I rarely check the spam filter for legit mail.
If I got a lot it might be a problem but the number of spams I get today are so few it does not take much to open the folder and then delete them all.

Care to point me in right direction for that? My filter ain’t catching what they need to.
