Spam filtering

I use both webmail when I am at work and the Apple client at home.I have always added spam addresses for filtering in the past - never any need to add more than one a week that sneaks through Sonic's previously excellent spam filtering.

Recently, just in the past couple of weeks, there are many too many (10-20 a day) getting through for me to devote the time that would be required. It would be a second job!

There is clearly something that has changed in spam filtering for me on Sonic's end.

Are any others seeing/reporting the same problem?

Thanks.

Yes,starting in early November I noticed a huge increase of spam that gets Sonic filters. These days (December 7, 2018), I see 5-10 spams delivered each day.
