Generally speaking mail anti-spam tools aren't much efficient against
comments spam.

In this case we're willing to block people whose URLs usually aren't in the
URL block-lists yet. In addition several spammers do include part of the page
content along with their URLs (including legitimate URLs) which means they
aren't so easy to block.

So if there's a way to detect such spam on the fly, I'm willing to implement
it, but I doubt it.
