As an alternative which would be easier to read/maintain when you get a few 
more addresses in the list is to put drop rules before the allow rules. 
Typically if I spot incoming abuse, I just drop all connections - but that's 
one of those policy decisions that's specific to the organisation/admin. I tend 
to structure my rules file along the lines of :

# Drop nasties
DROP  net:aa.bb.cc.0/24  $FW
DROP  ...

# Mail
SMTP/ACCEPT  net  $FW
...
IMAPS/ACCEPT  net  $FW

# Other permitted traffic types ...


Of course, dealing with attacks as they happen is something that "shorewall 
drop ..." is useful for.
