You can change "Add invitations to my calendar" to either "Only if the sender is known" or "When I respond to the invitation in email" in your Calendar settings. However, this approach has limitations: it won't remove existing spam, may block legitimate invitations from new contacts, and requires manual cleanup for any spam that slips through.
