If #2 isn't working for you (see a doctor?), almost every spam advertising email has a very small link at the bottom for "unsubscribe." Click on it to go to a page to unsubscribe from that spam list.
Hope this helps.

iOS (iPhone) does not have an "auto-trash" feature, except for "2-Factor Verification Codes" via Messenger, which also has an option to delete texts after a certain time period (wanted or unwanted).
Any other "auto-trash" is App specific..
As for Email Spam, that is regulated by the Federal Can-Spam Act.
CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business | Federal Trade Commission
Essentially, emailers are required to provide either "One Click" or "Two Click" methods for opting out of spam mail, depending on their volume of emails. Experian Consumer Services was fined $650,000 for violations, last August.
Text are whole other matter and primarily regulated by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991. Back in 2017, DISH Network was ordered to pay $280M in fines for violation of TCPA.
