Blacklist
If you’re using MT-Blacklist, and would like to grab the blacklist from this site, here you go. (This site gets quite a bit of comment spam, so the list is pretty extensive!)
(FYI - this list is also now linked in the sidebar. Last “box” towards the bottom)

As inspired by ScriptyGoddess (who gets lots of comment spam), I’m offering access to my own blacklist that I use…

Dear scriptygoddess,
I am writing this comment here because what I am about to tell you also has to do with comment spam. Im wondering if there is a way I could “prove” that I am the real owner of the site when I comment. For example, everyone can say that they are me, put in my email, site and its done, but only I would know a certain code to put or anything like that. It would be really cool that have that, so everyone is absolutely sure the owner is actually posting a comment.
I have seen alot of really popular sites that have this problem, but still no solution. I guess all of you scriptygoddesses could figure this out.
Just a little comment, is all.

I’d like to point out that one of the entries in your blacklist.txt should be deleted or modified:
[ 0-9a-zA-Z ]+-[ 0-9a-zA-Z ]+-\ S* \..{ 2, }
This entry will cause a perfectly legitimate mail address like user+200402@spamprotect.example.com to fail.
This regexp alone caused two false positives in the last 25 comments of my blog - including a comment I had posted myself

If someone has that has their email address, it seems to be fine.
Since I don’t know regexp that well - the person who you should probably bring that to the attention of is Jay - the author of the script itself. I keep a pretty close eye on the logs on the site - and I haven’t seen any notable “false positives”.

I’m sorry to pipe in so late, but Arvre is incorrect (as Jennifer later tested).
The regex in question could also be written as:
([0-9a-zA-Z]+-){2,}\S*\..{2,}
Meaning it will stop URLs that contain more than one hypenation, such as:
foo-bar-fubar.nu
