Don't you have a list of all your domains in a file or something? Can't you 
add the domains programmatically using a script?

As a responsible mail administrator you should not be running an open mail 
relay. *You* would be losing out because of spammers using *your* bandwidth 
and *your* cpu time. If your mailserver gets listed by one of the "blackhole" 
organisations then you and your customers lose out because mail to and from 
your mailserver to a mailserver subscribed to a blackhole list will be 
blocked.
