I have been getting a bunch lately as well. They all point to @hey.com and pedronetwork.com.

I think pretty much all of mine have been from e-mails with @hey.com, and I've been handling them via the spam plug-in. I'm very amused that its button is labelled "Go forth and do my bidding".

It seems the spammer was attempting to route around the anti-spam measures via Typekey free pass. However, now that the domains are in the Blacklist (probably placed there from Nicole), the user will be blocked before they can ever get through the gate.
Currently, we have two multi-layer spam protection measures. SpamLookup (http://bradchoate.com/projects/spamlookup/) uses a host of measures including IP address lookup of originating commenter or trackback source on bsb.empty.us, opm.blitzed.org, known open proxies, and standard crap IPs; hostname matching, HTTP header weirdness, etc. More info at http://bradchoate.com/projects/spamlookup/wiki/SpamIdentification.
MT-Blacklist is the second layer. If the commenter/trackbacker makes it through SpamLookup, anu URLs submitted are compared against the Blacklist (which includes regex matching in addition to basic URL equality). The Blacklist is updated via any user on the Blog@Case system and via the master blacklist located at http://www.jayallen.org/comment_spam/blacklist.txt.
The upcoming MT 3.2 will employ even more tools (http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/weblog/2005/07/movable_type_3.html). And, in the far future, various federated identity implementations will really strike a blow to the spammers' hearts.
