To deal with unwanted mail and spammers, you can set filters to catch the spammer stuff, and send it directly to the trash. One way is to require all respondents to input a key code into the subject line. Set your filters to pass only those e-mails with the key code in them and all others to automatically go into the trash. Most people I know are willing to do that.
