Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I don’t know if the community can help with this. I get a lot of spam emails that don’t use my email address but Apple allows them to come through. They difficult to block because there are so many email addresses to write down. Once I unsubscribe to one, it seems like I get five more from the same company. Any suggestions?

Spam emails have nothing to do with Apple.
In fact, I get them in my inbox as well.
Think of spam emails as phishing attempts to trigger a response.
If you respond, then you are telling the spammer that your email address has a live person (victim actually).
At that point, you are automatically added to mailing lists and by selling your information to those lists, they are making money off of you.
NEVER click unsubscribe.
The only thing you can do is to delete and ignore.
I right click on spam messages and choose 'block contact' for spam in my inbox. I never unsubscribe - that tells spammers your address is active.
After a quick check of my junk folder for anything of value, I delete all the junk. If you right click on any mailbox, you can click on the option to either 'erase junk mail' or 'erase deleted items' to simplify deleting multiple messages in all junk and trash folders..
It's not Apple that "allows them to come through", since spam messages can only be handled by your email provider.
