The X-Spam-Relays family of pseudo-headers available for rules are even
better for that task. Relays are properly pre-parsed, and it's easy to
anchor the rule at the perimeter of your network, only matching the
handing-over relay, instead of deep-header parsing like an ordinary
Received header rule does.

And in either case, do add some anchoring to that RE. The "com" in that
example is not guaranteed to be a TLD, but might also match the first 3
chars of the domain part...

                                                                 ^^^^^
Please get your terminology straight. This is *scoring*, not blocking.
If you'd really want to block them, do it early at the SMTP level.
