I've just cleaned up a "search engine optimization" web spammer's attempts
to use the SpamAssassin Wiki to gain PageRank. The irony of attempting
to use an anti-spam Wiki, to spam, should not be overlooked ;)
The spammer came from 61.17.115.6 --

One of their spamvertized URLs was for http://www.websitedesigning promotion.com/
, an "SEO" company based in India, with mostly nonexistent
contact info apart from a phone number in the south-east --

It was easy enough to spot via RecentChanges. If anyone else wants
to help out, please feel free to bookmark that page and revert any
further spammer mods; your help would be appreciated.
