We continue to have an increasing amount of SPAM emails and especially a lot with MALWARE attachments.

Could there be a way for us to submit spam addresses to the CC system so it could filter the malware and spam for us?

Mary says SPHSAA.org fakes are now her highest volume of this type of junk mail. I've been having a rash of this in the past 2-3 months.

Suggestions or your confirmation that this will be added into the system would be great!

The longer an email address exists (and is used), the more spam it will get, period. There is nothing anyone can do about this. There is a CONSTANT war between spammers and people who write the software that filters spam, and it has ups and downs regularly.

We already do what we can to filter spam, and it is always a very careful balancing act so as to not filter messages you actually want. If you receive messages you don't want, your best bet is to mark them spam in your email program so it learns what you want and what you don't.
