Thanks for putting that link up, it saved me from having to run the code to go and have a look. Here's my point of view:

That list is pretty worthless. There is a whole pile of addresses that I assume are spoofed freemailers. All those yahoo.com addresses for a start, and there are a large number of domains run by Outblaze in there as wll. There are better ways of dealing with that.

There are also a few MAILER-DAEMON addresses. Block them, and you're going to lose the ability to receive bounces from those domains. If you have mail routing problems you won't ever know.

The final futility of blocking based on the sender is that most spam engines simply take a valid domain name, and generate 4-16 random characters for the left hand side. (Hmm, there's this language I've heard about that would be ideally suited to that kind of task :) Just because someone else saw (and reported) an address, doesn't mean you'll ever see it. Quite the opposite in fact. They are many things, but spammers are not stupid.

If you are serious about spam, you don't care about the sender. Forging the envelope sender is trivial. Much more interesting is to get the IP address of the host that sent you the garbage. Don't shoot the message, shoot the messenger!
