Obviously for some the spam is getting through, so here's a short term solution.

1 Stop using your default email client to collect email until you have first checked webmail.
2 Log into webmail (perhaps just on the email account that is getting spammed).
3 Review uncollected email, anything you think is spam place a ticket against it, then click on the report as spam button. Those emails are moved to your webmail trash folder, and copies are automatically submitted for spam analysis.
4 Empty your trash folder
5 Collect what's remaining with your email program.

Do this for a couple of weeks, and the cloudmark system should then learn why the spam is getting through, and create rules for it.

This usually works for me, worth the extra few minutes a day to be honest.
Thanks for the tip Toto, I'll give it a go!
