I am receiving several a day and some, but not all, seem to be associated
with the Birding lists.  They are very hard to stop once they have entered a
system.

I have implemented a moderately successful system through my ISP.  WEBONE
has a filtering system that looks for offending keywords (this is a learning
process as new spamming themes appear).  Having identified a spam message,
they insert a keyword in the header and I have set up a rule that detects
the keyword and directs the offending emails to a JUNK folder.  That way, I
don't lose them and can check very quickly whether any appear genuine.  The
rest I delete.

As they say:  "It works for me".
