FWIW, we use the Mediawiki SpamBlacklist extensions to great effect  
with the following blacklists:

$wgSpamBlacklistFiles = array(
     
"http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spam_blacklist&action=raw&sb_ver=1",
     
"http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist&action=raw&sb_ver=1"
);

It delegates the collection of spamming URLs to Wikipedia and  
Wikimedia, whom are are very good at it. I assume there are ways to  
incorporate these blacklists in MoinMoin too.

Spammers don't even seem to bother to create accounts anymore very  
often (http://wiki.freepascal.org/Special:BlockList and  
http://wiki.freepascal.org/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&dir=prev&creationSort=1), although for a while I did regularly update our custom captcha to make it increasingly harder to handle with a regexp (as I assume that's what they  
used).
