Looks like someone already got to it.
In the future, clicking the "! Report" button will alert us all of the issue.
How do I report spam sent to my phone? Thanks

Would you mind elaborating? How is the spam getting to your phone?
We were talking about spam posted in the forum here. I'm not sure if that's what you meant, but if it was, the report button mentioned above is now available in the phandroid app in the market.

Thought so
You might want to post in the Android Applications section and ask about call/SMS filtering apps. There are quite a few around, I imagine one of them could help you with your problem.

I'll do that. Thanks for your ideas. Do you have preference of a call/SMS filtering app or which one you think is best.
Thanks again

No problem. I am concerned with spam getting into my Droid's mailbox and "reporting" that much more than anything in a MMS or SMS.
Gmail seems to have a very good filtering system. Any AOL email alerts I get on my Droid X that turn out to be Spam I'll just have to report via AOL on my computer.
Thanks again

Have you considered using AOL via gmail? You can have gmail poll emails from your AOL account (or have AOL forward them to gmail, which is quicker), as well as setting up gmail to send emails via your AOL email address. That way everything you get will go through gmail's spam filters.

This is a very good idea, thanks
I set up my gmail account accordingly yesterday & next thing I knew my gmail account was receiving over 400 emails from my AOL account 
Evidently gmail "polled" or imported EVERYTHING - AOL New Mail, mail "kept as new" and Old mail that had I had already seen but not deleted. As good of an idea as this is, I chose to cancel it. Some people I work with email quote requests & Purchase Orders to my personal AOL address (even though they have my business AOL address)
I figure whatever spam sneaks onto my phone via My Accounts, that is actually spam from AOL, I'll just have to report that spam to AOL & add it to the Spam Folder on AOL.Thanks for the advice, it is definitely a good idea.
