If possible I try to handle this kind of special junk by the ISP's
filter, while I usually disable the ISP junk filter options and use
bogofilter when retrieving mails.

Some ISP allow to ban mails by different useful or not that
useful filter options. If possible I'm using this, so I don't get such
mails at all. Usually this works, if a mail has got always the same
email address. Unfortunately wildcards, resp. address or subject or ...
"contains" usually isn't provided or not working.

How to handle this might be different for IMAP and POP, but at least
for POP accounts I can avoid to download some unwanted mails, when
using the ISP filter for those mails.
