In your profile check to see if you can block spam to a designated folder. If so all of the spam that enters your email box the first time mark them as spam, the next time the spam enters your account, it will go to the spam folder, this could take months due to the  different email accounts used by spammers. Try to used an alternate email account for personal email, and the spam account for the wild or the Internet.
