Matt, It's actually pretty simple. In the field for "Blacklisted Domains", instead of entering individual domains, just put a pointer to a text file on your machine. For example, I have file:C:\ASSP\blacklist.txt in that field. You can just rename the url-domain-bl.txt to blacklist.txt (although I guess that you could also name it url-domain-bl.txt and forget renaming it). There are a few other fields in ASSP for which the above file pointer format works as well. Most of them have an * next to the field.
Like (I think) I said before, my list will not be as effective with ASSP as it will be with IMail, simply because ASSP only checks the From: header, and IMail checks the entire body of the message. Admittedly, IMail's filter does not work 100% of the time, but you will catch a lot more spam with the list in place than without it. Today seems to be a banner day for spam. Spammers are renaming their domains like crazy. Obviously, there will never be a list that includes all spammers (I wish). The idea here is simply to make it more and more costly for these people to keep doing business, until the profit incentive is so little that they decide to stop spamming and get real jobs.
