Well, the problem here is that spammers change credit cardsetc
as well, so how do you track them? They just start a new
fly-by-night company, get new accounts, loose them, repeat.

Alternatively they register with one rogue ISP (AGIS was a
great problem in this respect: you could not cut them off as
they are a backbone provider. Luckily AllYouGetIsSpam did see
the light some (longer) time ago; it is said with the help of
crackers.

However if you mean a blacklist of known spamming IP's, I'll
direct you to the Realtime Blackhole List
