I guess the spamers came to you because they met a wall here at WP ;-)
:) The number of IP addresses is not indefinite, so the advantage is on our side ;)
I am wandering why anti-spam implementation is not also IP based such email blacklists are? In this case I see that action is coordinated by some program (and, probably, by some person(s)). They can't have so many different dial-up, adsl and similar connections. I suppose that all of IPs represent one server-like machine on Internet. As they have a lot of IPs I think that some (or all?) of that machines are cracked. Maybe some viruses with wiki-edit possibilities exist, too? I think that this is general problem and that MediaWiki should have automatic anti-spam features like email servers have.
Definitely, Infoshop OpenWiki is under attack, too.
