I do not think you can ...
just take a look at the proxies on arin who is and contact the IP provider and make an abuse report there !If its using public proxies
then just spam them and thats it ....htaccess
Code:
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:FORWARDED} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:USERAGENT_VIA} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X_FORWARDED_FOR} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:PROXY_CONNECTION} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:XPROXY_CONNECTION} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTP_CLIENT_IP} !^$
RewriteRule .* - [F]

this is for anonymous proxies, but for high anonymous proxies there is no solution !
High Anon/Elite proxies do not pass on the UA. Block anything that does not have a UA, or a properly formatted UA.
Then in htaccess:
Deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
If all the collected IP's are in the same D block, i.e. 111.0.0.0 - 111.0.0.255, then use a Cider notation of
Deny from 111.0.0.0/24
But if it a a single user using numerous proxies....
As to Akismet and whatnot, do not believe others that they alone will stop spam. While they may block some public IP's, they do not rely on IP address alone.
