Based on my graphdefang stats for senders over time, I doubt you'll 
actually get much improvement by blacklisting spammers' from 
addresses, 'cause they seem to not be repeated over time much at all.

We see these fairly often, and we don't do much in the way of 
blacklisting.  I suspect it's a bug in somebody's spamware.
