Spam prevention is a _huge_ topic. Mainly because everything and anything
you do to try to prevent spam, spammers will work to circumvent.
I would suggest lots and lots of reading on the problem. Research spamcop,
spamassassin, greylisting to start, plus any links that those point you
to. You've got a lot of work on your hands to understand the problem
and effectively prevent it.
Alternatively, you can purchase a commercial solution. There are many
appliances available. Or you could hire an experienced consultant to
set up spam blocking on your existing server.
Good luck.
