You can set your cutoff on 30 to the top of the band and never see another SSB spot on 30. As to adding another cutoff... its never going solve the problem since bands overlap.
If you would like this fixed properly, write a note to the maintainer of the DXCluster software to add mode to the standard format. I have a couple of times. It makes absolutely no sense to me that it does not especially as 90% or more of spots are generated my computer now, not guys typing into a telnet session. It's long overdue.
