Blocked Sender

Not sure I understand the issue.
The email went to your spam folder correctly. That's good. So at that point, why did you try to block the sender?
BTW, "SPAM" is a canned ham and pork product considered a delicacy in Hawaii. The word for malicious emails does not deserve being in full upper case letters. Spam, when used as the first word in a sentence, is tolerated, but only because proper grammar and sentence syntax demands it.

Perhaps the spam filter tagged the email because the email itself, the content, was identified as spam? And so the filter caught the spam in two ways - by the stinky content, and by the sender too.

You are correct about SPAM. Both uses of the name are best when fried. It is just not as tasty when in an email.
As you mentioned, something triggered COX to send it to the SPAM Folder. My question is still why it even showed up there
if it was to be blocked.

I don't know. I also use Cox but not Cox's webmail client. Are you sure they are the same email, and not, perhaps where one copy was sent a few seconds later?
Has this happened more than once?

I mean maybe they sent two identical, or almost identical emails out a second or two apart.
Yeah, good luck with Cox support. That said, if this is just a one-time thing, I personally would not worry about it and dismiss it as a one-time fluke. But if it is happening often, then I would dig deeper.

If the Cox Spam filter caught the email, it was blocked, stripped of clickable content, and sent to the Spam folder. That's one form of blocking however, that user can send another email your way until you, the user tells the filter to block it from being sent to you. This is at least how my Gmail works.
I'm with Digirati, if it's a one-time fluke just move on. Also, spam filters are not perfect.
Anytime!
