Sorry, there are no means to ban a mac address. 

You can disable message permission to your default member group and then automatically promote them to a different group on making x approved posts through group promotions:

You may wish to use an automated payment process in Commerce so an individual does not need to message or you could use the Contact Us form for users to reach out to administrators.

I had similar issue because of the nature of community I run. I just ended up blocking 80% of proxies on our site and I keep updating the list. Block the ASN of known proxy software's.
