As far as I have seen from stopforumspam, it blocks email from a domain list, which is a little too generic.

For example, mail.ru and gawab.com are in the first place public email box providers, such as gmail.com, and their major number of users are not spammers. They do a great deal to limit excess, but the automated procedures are so fast, they simply can't catch up in time.

There are some domains though which fit into a global/permanent ban, which clearly appear to come from spammers, such as the 2008 series (e.g. 2008informer1.net, 2008informer2.net, 2008informer3.net). We connect to suspicious domains manually and decide to list them one by one. We include hijacked domains, and domains which appear not to have a public interface.

But of course, stopforumspam does a great job within its limits. Since it does not test the email box, it is limited to IP (eventually MX) lookups and honey-pots, which are in most of the cases very precise.

So I would imagine, stopforumspam blocks a domain which actually contains legimit mailbox owners before it comes to run our plugin.
