Anybody know of some? I’ll do some digging this week, but I figured I’d tap into the hive mind, too.
If you know of any that are in press (or close to it), I’d appreciate hearing about them, too.
Thanks…
I got hit with a flood of comment spam tonight, starting at about 7:30pm EST. I discovered it at 9:30, after I was done teaching, and spent 30 minutes entering URLs into MT-Blacklist and rebuilding. There were well over 100 spams already there.
Looking at my log, it appears they’re still trying—I show a bunch of blacklist-denied comments over the past ten minutes. I’m going to hope I got the bulk of their URLs, and am going home and going to bed. I’ll assess any new damage in the morning.

Update: PZ Myers pointed out in the comments that Theresa Nielsen Hayden had gotten the same flood of spam, and had posted her blacklist. She also posted a link to Kip Manley’s blacklist. Both are here
I’ve imported both of their blacklists, so mine includes everything they had. Mine’s here.
As Kip says in Theresa’s comments—add these now if you have MT-Blacklist running, or you’ll end up having to despam by hand later, which is a serious pain.

Update 2: Just checked my MT activity log. During the twelve hours since I finished updating my blacklist last night (around 10:30pmEST), there were 510 rejected comments, from 142 different IP addresses. The storm seems to have subsided for now.
