The annoying limit on blacklists is that they only match against the body of the comment, not the url or email address. I get a lot of blog spam that is using the url to generate some blog mana by linking off mine. Would be great if the blacklist worked on the url field too. Yes, it's an easy patch to make (I think) but I'm not running trunk yet so I'm not set up to do it myself just now.
