Soundex might be a practical solution. Perhaps a manageable approach is to first apply a spelling check using both a regular dictionary and augmenting it with a set of spammer mis-spellings. Then, send the output of that step into Soundex. The Soundex is a heuristic for catching the creative alternative spellings that didn't make it into the custom spelling dictionary, or need not be put in the custom dictionary because soundex picks up the alternatives.
