this might help - 
still stuck with version 0.1x here (yes, version 0) and without having done 
anything manually, these type of spams got caught over 97% of the time 
after the first rush. Just the "honeypot" accounts feeding bogofilter along 
with some procmail Header recipes that also fed the bf.
Now we are at over 99% success.

ie: beware of overthinking the problem :)
