There is one thing I've found that DOES effectively prevent Spam. Mailblocks uses a "verify" technique that works pretty much 100%. There are only two drawbacks: 1) it costs money/yr and 2) while they have ways of letting things like orders through, sometimes you just use your e-mail account and things that are NOT going to reply to their message end up in the pending box so you still have to keep your eye on it. But only sometimes. It has been the only way I've found to effectively combat spam. Maybe one day spammers will get by it, but for now, it works.
