Just recently, I've started to be bombarded by Gmail spam.  Really crude stuff - around 100 a day.

 

The Gmail spam filters aren't catching it.  The only thing that goes into Gmail's junk folder are the occasional genuine email.

 

I'm at a loss as to what to do.  I can't see any gmail settings that I can tweak to make the spam filter more aggressive.

 

It's just the standard free gmail.

 

Can anyone help .... please.

Spam does seem to have increased, but my free gmail filter catches 99% of it and I have only a few false positives. Maybe mark all the spam as spam and see if it improves?
