In a sense this is that same approach that the RBL's are using to block 
spam. You going to spend you life playing catch up with all the throw 
away domains that the spammers use.

I personally think that whitelisting of 'well behaved', SPF protected 
domains is a much more scalable and useful solution. A whitelist is much 
more static than a blacklist and as a result much easier to maintain.
