Erik Olson's method of renaming mt-comments.cgi sounds good (as detailed in teh comments of the previous post), but if you are worried about breaking links, and if you are adventurous in changing your MT templates, there are more advanced methods for you to try.
For example...http://weblog.burningbird.net/fires/000638.htm.
(I've seen other methods too. There are a variety of ways to fool the bots.)
As far as I can tell, methods like this should work far better than the blacklists until the bots get considerably more sophisticated.
I haven't tried it on my blog yet, but then the need on my end has not been nearly so dire.
