[ale] Spam advise sought

I have one email address that is getting deluged with spam.  All the 
rest are normal.  The emails are something about $3 per month auto 
insurance because of fed legal change, wanting to sell me a spice that 
will make me turn into a skinny guy, get my degree certificate without 
going to class, etc.  I have spam assassin on the server (yes, it's my 
system running Centos 6) and using Thunderbird (Ubuntu 10.04) with the 
junk mail controls enabled.  So far it's running about 30:1 spam:ham.  
I've never trained spam assassin since I don't keep mail there and never 
figured out how to do the training remotely.

I'm kinda tired of it.  Other than turning it off, is there anything I 
can do?  It's wierd.  I'll get these strange emails for a while and then 
nothing for a bit then it'll start with a new set of bogus 
offers/links/garbage.

Thanks,
Jim.
