Spam Overload
Over the last week or so, I have received an enormous amount of scam, but no matter how many times I "train" the filter, it doesn't work.
I have just received another 3 from this site: mid:02guhjkj6-ABMcSHN6Or-JiC-000000@eu-central-1.amazonses.com, which claim to be from Madasafish Security>security@qi9adgongzenElptrum.de
I have tried on several occasions to follow the manual instructions how to deal with the spam, but I find it so log-winded that my non-techie brain, which is not wired for these kind of things, gets tired and I give up. If anyone has a more intuitive approach how to deal with this, I would be very appreciative. I have marked sites multiple times as spam, but the spam control ignores me!

Have you read the support documentation on spam? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages
The sender is not a consideration in determining if something is spam.
Thanks Matt,
I've followed the instructions from your link, so I'm hoping that by tomrrow I will see a reduction in the spam sent me.
Improved?
Thanks Matt and Wayne,
It has improved somewhat , but all of a sudden I am now having spam from random sites under the guise of madasafish such as, sales@shakleeacademy.my saying my google one storage is full and asking to subscribe.
My perception: Thunderbird does a good job, as evidenced that you reduced the assault. But spam-management is not email management, and there are dedicated products to do that, such as mailwasher (which I use and it eliminated the issue. Ain't free, but it works.) and others. You could also create a few filters for problems. For example, what you shared had a domain suffix of.mv. You could create a filter to eliminate emails with domain suffixes other than the ones you consider legitimate. It's work, I agree.
