The reason people spam (in your case not for meds but for their fraudulent activities) is because it is a cost efficient way to get a message to people. All your attempts through filters etc. are ways to increase the cost per message indirectly through decreasing the number of messages that get delivered. In my experience making that indirect mechanism an explicit cost factor is the best way to decrease spam: charge a fee for people who want to send more than 3 messages per day.
