I use emails I make myself from cPanel and it seems the cPanel spam control sucks.

I get emails like this one all the time.

Can someone suggest me a system that will help me control the spam coming into my email better?

I use e-mail forwarders to forward my mail through GMail.

I just use google apps alone for my mail I have no mail server setup at all.

MailScanner + SpamAssassin + ClamAV =

I used Box Trapper via cPanel. It prevents all of my spam. Its really good. Some hosts may not have it enabled via WHM.... but I use it (i have my own VPS).
