Can you tell from the headers in your email what version of SA they have? You may also want to modify the auto-learn parameters. Mine: auto_learn_threshold_spam 30.0 auto_learn_threshold_nonspam -2 bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 30.0 bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam -2 (I forget which version of the commands applied to SA versions 2.5x and which to 2.6x) If you're getting SA 2.6x, then I suggest setting the spam thresholds 15, and the nonspam thresholds to 0, plus or minus 0.1 to start. IMO the default 2.6 threshold for nonspam is too high. You should manually learn as much non-spam and spam as you can. I can help you with that offline (my method uses a combination of FTP and cron commands). Given your shared hosting situation, and cPanel as your control panel, this is about as much as you can do to start. Depending on whether realwebhost.net has enabled network checks, you should be able to catch 50% to 75% of all spam with this setup, and reach 80% to 90% once Bayes has learned ham/spam from your emails. Then, if you need, you can push for more (I've reached 99.8%), but that takes time and work.
