Nice list, but you also cut out ALL Russian addresses.
Even mail.ru and web.de are oubtfull. Those are versions of hotmail. Used by spammers a lot, but also by valid users from those countries.

Edit: I use agressive mail banning and then block words like "login" they often use at free mail servers. This banned spammers effective enough to keep web.de open for example.
Banning single msn.com addresses is not that usefull I think. Spammers used that address a couple of days and then move to a new one.

I noticed that often the same IP addresses are used, so I ban those IP-addresses. After I started doing that, the amount of spammers grew less soon.
