Sorry you're having problems. Spammers did not obtain your email address from Craigslist, as that information is private. If somehow a spammer got hold of Craigslist private data, nothing you might do now could offer you any help. Craigslist does not offer a way of closing your account, if you have one. Spammers could have obtained your email address from your Craigslist post, if you included your email address in the post. If so, there's nothing you can do about it now except to abandon that email address.
