That is smart. Compare this with Wikipedia which blocks entire IP ranges, and unfortunately my dial-up (Vodafone Wifi in a pretty crowded, for European standards, place) is one of those. They did not even allow you to log in (some years ago). Immense amount of spam you have. I only use the mentioned plus a local bogofilter instance that learns for some years, and i (do not want to knock on wood) have around one or two dozen each day, of which less than a handful is not auto-detected, but most of those are "maybe", so.
