With spammers, the IP addresses always change (they've gotten good about that over the past few years), so I suppose the best way to control these "scout messages" is to grep [[Special:Newpages]] regularly for telltale page titles (like ".php") and delete on sight.
An admin bot should be able to delete those pages automatically, if someone cares to write it.
