Honestly, blocking humans that deliberately want to spam seems a very
difficult task to me. For one, http://mailinator.com/ shows on its home
page a list of several alternate equivalent domains, and the regular
expression catches only two of those.

So either you try to extend the regular expression to catch more of the
alternatives (but then it will need updating from time to time) or you
accept to block only a part and agree that a deliberate spammer will
manage to spam the OOo wiki (which seems unavoidable to me).
