First, the server that your websites resides on is constantly filtering out known "Spammer" IP addressees buy accessing RBL lists. These list's have been constantly updated for many years and contains thousands of IP's that have been identified as "Spammers"

"BoxTrapper" protects your inbox from spam by forcing all people not on your white list to reply to a verification email before they can send mail to you.
This option can be tricky but if you get use to the setting and add all your personal contacts you should find good filtering results.

Last is the ultimate option: "Spam Assassin"

Spam Assassin is an automated mail filter that uses a wide range of heuristic algorithms on email headers and message bodies to identify "SPAM" (unsolicited email). Spam Assassin is designed to identify and mark emails that score beyond your threshold value. An e-mail’s Spam Assassin score is the sum of values given to certain known spam characteristics.
