Unfortunately the update process will not pull in the complete blacklist.  It 
is taken from a rss feed that list the last 100 changes to the blacklist.  
The master blacklist is available from 

http://www.jayallen.org/comment_spam/blacklist.txt

but you will have to parse out the comments to make it usable.  You would 
need to make an initial import module to do this.
