On a practical level I find it hard to believe that you can do more than complain to an ISP or webhost. They probably won't listen unless they get multiple complaints. The heavy comment spammers are probably well-financed, they are often offshore and can easily shift through a host of domains in different countries. (I've backtracked various referral log spammers and they are usually overseas and sometimes when I block one IP address they will show back with a different one). Not that I don't wish you the best of luck. All I do is click on the MT-Blacklist URL and forget about them.
