By Just finished the morning session of my twice daily activity, deleting incoming spam emails. Is there a spam filter in the settings somewhere that I'm missing? And if not, is this functionality going to be added and when?
While Mailboxes is a really powerful way to track your email contacts within your nation, it is not meant to be a fully-featured email client. Specifically, as you've noted, it doesn't offer the sort of spam filtering that has become commonplace with full-featured webmail clients like AOL, Google Apps and Yahoo!.
If you're finding that using NationBuilder as your organization's primary email provider is resulting in a significant amount of spam traffic, I would recommend hosting your email with a full-featured webmail provider and connecting that email to your broadcaster using these instructions.

NationBuilder Mailboxes was designed to integrate one-to-one email with your people database and allow supporters to respond to email blasts.
And if you’d like to switch email providers, that’s certainly possible to do. It might cause a small disruption to your email service, but you may find the longer-term benefits outweigh the short-term issues.
By the time i realised Nationbuilder email was inadequate for our needs it was It’s too late to compare options with other web-builder products on the market because we had already made a substantial investment that we couldn’t afford to discard.
Feeling slightly duped :-(
