Every email provider of any scale discards somemuch likely spam before it gets anywhere near their users. They use blacklists and honey pots to reject email from IP addresses or blocks of IP addresses that they suspect of sending spam.
In the past several weeks, the ONLY spam I have received has been from gambling sites, at the rate of about 20 per day. All have similar or identical subject lines, but different sent-from addresses. It is surprising to me that GMail doesn't filter these out as a category, but I confess I have no idea how they would do that.
