Sorry for your problems. This is a hazard of soliciting replies on any such site. If the objectionable replies came through a Craigslist "anonymized" address, your first action should be to click the flagging link at the bottom of the message. You'll probably get better results however if in addition you create a filter within your email program. You'll be able to determine the "anonymized" address used by the sender (that you'll want to filter out) by examining the message's source code. That address should look something like [email protected].
