For more than 15 years, Apple has done a great job managing and filtering obvious junk email. Why is there a sudden massive volume of junk from obviously fake sources?
The obvious includes the ending domains like @qfwxxvhcx6bd.mail-nat.workday.com, @e3nxqt4lqh9d.mail-nat.workday.com' or any number of gibberish like @1896.myworkday.com////wix.com
Apple used to perform filtering or blocking much better than any other services.

Hey there MacCAS,
Since Mail is no longer correclty filtering junk mail, there are a few steps you will need to take. You will find the necessary steps linked below. You have posted in an iOS community but have your device listed as an iMac. We'll go ahead and provide steps for both.
If junk mail filters aren’t working in Mail on Mac
Report and block spam in iCloud mail
Report junk mail
To make sure future messages from the same sender are marked as junk, you can report messages as junk in the Mail app.
* On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, swipe left on the message, tap More, then tap Move to Junk.
Have a great day!
Beware of Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection. It is not designed or capable of preventing receipt of spam email - but is instead intended to obscure when - or how many times - an email is accessed.
However, by virtue of actually downloading embedded content, the Mail Privacy Protection service, in automatically downloading embedded content, confirms to the spam-sender that they have reached a real/live email address - in turn inviting more spam to the mail address.
Thanks. But, both of those settings have been on for years. Your systems are no longer catching even the obvious.
Sudden influx of obvious spam?
