Good start!

Can't be sure without knowing how realwebhost.net has set up SA, but
auto-learn is the default. 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.
