Maybe the cable company already filters the easy to recognize spam  
directly on their servers and only leaves you with the harder to  
recognize spam? I know this is the case for one of my mail accounts.

For private e-mail users a simple rule "if not in address book then  
move to spam folder" often does a job. Works for me. A quick glance  
usually quickly identifies if an e-mail was incorrectly identified as  
spam by that e-mail. I add the address to the address book, move it  
to the inbox, then select all in the spam folder and delete.
