This is my third and last thread on the subject.  I'm not getting 
through the maze of these forums with a usable answer for me and my 
business.

Please if you don't use the paid service, and you are not familiar with 
how it differs from the free service, Please don't muddy the waters with 
irrelevant responses.

Things in my email world have to change. My current structure has things 
that work well and things that are seriously broken, with little 
prospect for a solution.

My structure - I have multiple domains at which I receive email, some of 
which are posted as contact info on my web sites (spam is a given in 
this situation).  I need the new business so I'm unwilling to remove the 
email addresses from my web pages.  SC collects mail from these domain 
POPs and places them in my "Held Mailbox".  Also the mail that is sent 
directly to my spamcop.net account also goes into my Held Mail.  If the 
mail "passes" through a filter it is moved to my Inbox.  My domain POPs 
offer filtering so that the "TeamAaronShara's" are easily controlled. 
BUT SC doesn't.  When I get these mail bombs it is very difficult and 
time consuming to sort through hundreds of messages in Held Mail looking 
for legit communications.  The frustrating part is that SC doesn't offer 
any filter for the Held Mailbox, NO select by string, so mail sent 
directly to the spamcop address always ends up in the Held Mail NO 
MATTER What, and selection of the messages is all or individual clicks.

I'm thinking I'm at least going to have to change my spamcop.net 
address. . . and not give it out to anyone (as inconvenient as that is). 
  Forcing all communications through my domain POP, were I have a 
fighting chance to mitigate the effects of the un-controllable.

At the point were I'm ready to surrender my spamcop.net address I need 
to evaluate whether or not I need to continue to pay SC for an account. 
  There are lots of spam control competitors out there.

I'm going to have to restructure, and I'm looking for ideas. . . Gotta 
get it right this time.
