Apples have email programs that allow you to train the Junk mail to automatically move messages from someone or containing certain words to the junk folder. The rules for doing this can be quite complex.
I use SpamSieve and get almost no spam. it all goes to the spam folder automatically and is deleted in a week.

Louise,
I can't speak to how marking as "not spam" might be done on iOS since I have never been merged into the Apple borg and have limited exposure to iPhones and iPads. I would have to believe that there is some way of doing this.
J,
I really have no idea whether there are users who are actually marking messages from the group(s) as spam, but I would not be shocked one bit if some were. This is not to say that the automatic server side or even e-mail client classification is not also taking place as well.
As far as I am concerned basic e-mail literacy requires that you understand the idea of declassifying something that arrives marked as spam, regardless of what did the marking, and also how to do whitelisting. I have to believe that both of these things act as a feedback loop of some sort to the e-mail providers as their spam filters have to have some sort of "learning" mechanism and it sounds like group owners are getting back some pretty detailed information regarding when things are being bounced back as spam and which providers are doing this. That does leave a bit of mystery with regard to who is doing the marking, but it does give a direct indicator as to what companies should be notified that groups.io is a subscription service and anyone receiving any message originating from same had to intentionally subscribe in order for that to happen.
