Why not just block their ip block?

It's not at all obvious to me that "xyz.com is a lot broader than just
an ip address..." (well, let me extend that to addresses.)

I'll agree on one thing:

If I never wanted to see another piece of mail from Microsoft or any
of their close affiliates I could use their Sender ID record to make
that filter more accurate.

I am not so sure about determined criminals willing to use infected
