I receive daily messages in my Gmail with the same subject: "Sales Boom". Gmail correctly detects these messages as spam and sends them correctly to the spam folder. Even so, I would like to know if it is possible to create a filter to permanently delete these messages that are already in the spam folder, as these are messages that do not even need to be analyzed?

Thanks to @Moab comment, I got the clue to solving this question, once the link in his comment has out of date instructions, so, to help to the community, here are the up to date information to get this working:

  1. Inside Gmail, click on the dropdown button of the "Search Mail" field: enter image description here
  2. Insert the subject you want to filter (or any other field you think are the correct), and, MOST IMPORTANT, write in:spam inside the "has the words" filter, then click on "create filter: enter image description here
  3. You'll get this warning, just clik OK: enter image description here
  4. In the next screen, select delete it and click "Create Filter": enter image description here

That's it!

If you want to confirm (or change) the created filter.

  1. Click on the "gear" button and then click on "settings": enter image description here

  2. Click on "Filters and Blocked Addresses": enter image description here

  3. Finally, locate the last created filter and you'll get to change it if you want: enter image description here

  • IMHO it would be much safer to "mark as read" and "apply custom label e.g. 'auto-read'" instead of deleting. It should spare you inspecting unread spam with leaving a safety net. AFAIR gmail deletes spam after 30 days anyway.
