Q: spam filter

I've repeatedly marked spam emails as Junk yet the Apple's Mail program doesn't seem to learn.  They're all fake messages about REFI rates.  I've tried several different rules as well included one that looked for REFI in the subject without success. 

OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Have you tried creating a rule that will send those emails directly to the Trash folder? 

 

Also report the spam to Apple as described in this Apple document: iCloud: Why am I getting junk mail (spam)?

    Thanks.  I have tried different rules, one at a time, focusing on different parts of the message: sender, subject, contents; all without success.

     

    I also get my messages through Google mail. It has recognized every one of these messages as Junk.  I guess it just works better.

     

    Thank you for the iCloud document reference. I tried finding help something like that in the Mail help and also did a Google search but didn't see your suggestion.  I'm happy to forward them the emails after first trying to train Mail to recognize the messages.

     

    I've giving you credit for solving my problem because I don't think there will be anything better.
