I am really pissed off with spammers, and I can't get rid of them, every single day I am receiving more than 30 spam mails, and I am not sure how can I stop this.
Can you tell me how you deal with this phainomenon?
Is there any good program-plugin to stop spammers?

I don't get much. I find that if you use an email that has no common names in it you get WAY less spam.

That's right. If you have accounts like webmaster, info, or sales you get more spam.
As for the first question, I don't know any cool program to do that. The best way to deal with spam is by configuring your mail server to query spam databases when it receives a mail.

What I do is create an email called spam@MYDOMAIN.com. Whenever I signup on a site I use that email. All the site's mail that I think wont be important would go to that address. You can create a little autoresponder saying THANKS FOR THE EMAIL! and spam them back haha.

That's a nice technique. I use a yahoo account for this job. And I never check this mailbox(almost 1 time per 6 months just to be open)
The bad thing is that when you own your own domain people spam you blind using email adresses that you can propably use. eg. webmaster@yourdomain, info, sales, support, etc.

the auto responder wouldn't work very well, since most of these spam address don't exists; all you will get is a mail from your mailer that the email doesn't exists and the mail can't be sent or something.
