Time for a whitelist mechanism to go with the blacklist perhaps?

You misunderstand me. I’m not going to use the fake email addresses, but the domains in the body of the posts. These aren’t fakes, but the whole point of link spamming.

Still vulnerable to “Joe Jobs”, though.

Except it won’t work. At best – if spammers are using fake email addresses – the email spam you redirect will go nowhere.

If comment spammers start spoofing real email addresses, then you’ll be directing a whole lot of spam at someone who has done nothing worse than put his email address on his blog.
