You do not necessarily need to configure the $wgTitleBlacklistSources.
It suffices to put the require_once statement in your LocalSettings.php
and then edit MediaWiki:Titleblacklist

The Regexp entry above I provided does not match "Buy Viagra". It only
matches the specific spam accounts (e.g. "123 buy anything") with the
following rule

any number of digets + a white space character + the string "buy" + a
white space character + any number of arbitrary characters
