If they are using Spam Assassin, you could always do the filtering in CE 
by filtering by the "X-Spam-Level" header placed in your email header by 
SpamAssassin instead of relying selecting a text occurrence.  In fact 
this is where you might be able to check to see what Spam filtration they 
are using.
  
Have a look at the headers and see how many '****' the spam level has set 
and you can then decide which number of *** to include when filtering 
locally when the mail arrives. 

Open a new Mail Action: Set the first Criteria as "From is in Address 
Book' then select a second Criteria and in the Field choose 'Internet 
Header', type in 'X-Spam Level' choose Contains and type in the number of 
**** you want (up to 4). If you want to include the lesser levels, repeat 
Criteria with fewer ***.

If this works reliably you could have CE collect you email during your 
vacation. knowing that your mailbox will not overload.  You just need to 
throw away the spam when you return.

Don't forgot the also colour you filtered spam, so that you can sort it 
quickly in your deleted folder for easier final deletion.  I fins it 
better to direct the spam into a spam folder and later delete the emails 
at my convenience.

Cheers
