If such emails are not being flagged as "SPAM" by your ISP, you should at least send them a copy with full headers expanded to their spam reporting address.

FWIW My Apple Account gets zero SPAM, and I have used exclusively for Apple and iTunes.
A different account I use as a safety valve is a different story. I give this account to unknown quantities and keep them there until I am sure they do not use the To: or CC: box as a substitute for bulk mailing. Unfortunately some do and usually some one on their mailing list is contaminated and this addy ends up on a number of junk mailers address book.
That said it has been very quiet this year. Maybe 4 a month.
unfortunately - when you hand out your email address everywhere you go, you will receive spam eventually - that said i have a throw away email for that purpose or honey pot we say in the IT realm lol
but if you use apple mail you can set up a rule that anything from "earthlink" domain to go straight to junk and your issues will be done..
then every 5 days just browse your junk folder to check for good emails.
Just a reminder, as folks who haven't been with Apple's email for as long as some of us may not know, as it's no longer a feature that they advertise.
You can have multiple aliases tied to your email. Just go into https://icloud.com and set 'em up (in iCloud Mail, left sidebar, gear icon, accounts). You can have up to 5 addresses. I don't know why you can't also edit these at https://appleid.apple.com but whatever.
In Gmail it's even easier - no setup required. If your address is "robert@gmail.com" then "robert+junk@gmail.com" will still be routed to your inbox.
In both cases, you set up a filter (rule) to send those addresses straight to the trash, and then treat them as throwaways.
