I've been playing with Vipul's Razor recently - http://razor.sf.net/

It's a distributed system for identifying spam; anyone who receives a
spam sends a SHA-1 identifier back to be propagated, and everyone
running a local server can reject based on this hash.  It's probably
overkill for me, but it sounds like you get enough spam to use it -
assuming you have control of the machine your mail comes to. (which I'll
assume, based on your mail address of webmaster@)

Just an idea,

As to luck, there's the old miners' proverb: Gold is where you find it.
