The reality is that reporting does little good. The experts agree that the spammers are winning the war against the anti-spammers, at least for the moment. That's why there are so many spam messages hitting our accounts. But there are things we can do to try to keep it at a minimum...
1. those spam mails that go straight to Bulk should be left there (and emptied occasionally if you want). But they should NEVER be opened.
2. those spam mails that land in your Inbox should be marked as Spam so that they are moved to Bulk and placed on the Blocked list (blocking that address so you don't receive any more mails from them).
3. any email that you are the least bit suspicious about should be deleted immediately. Don't let curiosity get the better of you. Simply by opening a spam email, you could be alerting the spammers that you have an active email address (they probably didn't know it before), to which they will most certainly send TONS of spam mail in the future.
