Spam will continue spreading as far as it makes profit. If nobody buys from spammers or acts upon their scams, spam will end. This is the obvious and easiest way to fight spam. You can ignore and delete spam emails you receive. But you can also take vengeance on the spammer by complaining to the spammer's Internet Service Provider (ISP). The ISP will block their connection and maybe impose a fine (depending on the ISP's acceptable usage policy). Spammers beware of such complaints and try to disguise their messages.

The spiders collect all of these email addresses for the spammer to spread his junk email messages across all emails that are within their possession. Spam Spiders are getting more sophisticated so even if some one tries to conceal their email addresses through more unconventional methods such as "john at johndoe dot com", there are well built crawlers that will pick these addresses up.
