Have you considered removing your email address from your website and putting a "Contact Form" instead? This will filter out some of the less sophisticated email spam scrapers. Basically, these spammers uses automated bots to look at the source code of your webpage and they add anything that has "mailto: " or looks like an email address onto their spam list.
If you remove your email address and use a contact form, it takes a more sophisticated automated bot to fill out the form. When a human clicks submit on the form, it'll send you an email. You'll still get spam, but probably much less.
Also, your web hosting/mail provider should have some spam filters as well that will prevent those messages from even getting to your email box. If you wanted, you should be able to set up preferences to auto-delete emails that contain attachments unless the sender is on your "Trusted" list.
My email address has been posted on our website for 7 or 8 years. I see maybe 2 spam messages/day.
