I turn off all spam filtering in my webmail accounts; and since I set Kmail to receive text-only (with the option to click and view html), it doesn't much matter if I get spam, because I can just delete it. (And when I enough spam to be bothered, I have the option of using kshowmail, which allows me to preview emails and delete them from the server without ever downloading them. It works nicely in tandem with Kmail, but since dropping my old Earthlink account, I haven't needed to use it.) The thing is, I switched from Earthlink about 18 months ago, I changed first to Gmail, and now use Zoho as my primary account; but now I don't really get any spam to be filtered (except of course from Felix's Earthlink account!). There is no reason for either Gmail or Zoho to block anything, because I get virtually no spam, so I don't understand why, despite all my best efforts, certain emails keep getting blocked by default. I can only guess that their email addresses have turned up on some "master spam list" out there that is used by various providers. I trust that they have been blocked by mistake, and are not really spammers, but it's annoying. Anyway, one keeps moving forward. I check my webmail occasionally, and check the online record of the mailing list on Trinity's pages, and (unless I have some sudden flash of insight) will leave such issues for others to sort out.
