Unfortunately the only thing you can do is contact Craigslist via email. HelpOwl is not associated with Craigslist so no one here will be able to help you with this.

I'm sorry, but asking Craigslist will be a waste of your time (as it seems you've discovered). It seems you're simply annoyed by nonsensical communications from Craigslist. If these are really from Craigslist, my suggestion is that you filter out all emails from Craigslist (or, if you prefer, filter out Craigslist emails with a certain set of words in either the subject or the body). That is not really very difficult, and I'd tell you how if I knew what email program you use. Your ISP may be able to so advise you--or resubmit to us identifying the email program.

However, the annoying messages may not be really from Craigslist. (We could tell you, if you sent us the text and source code.) In that case you could follow the same remedy as outlined above, but you'd want to filter out the actual sender (which you determine also from the source code).
