Except that there's no 'r' after the wildcard on the right side
(*@mydomian.net). Typo? ('r' is right under '%' on a qwerty keyboard)

One might add a (fairly obvious) caveat to that 'no' that users with addresses
in mydomain.net should be made to understand that by being whiteholed, they
are no longer protected by the blacklist(s) and they are likely to be
inundated with spam. IOW, if it were my client, I'd be inclined to ask, 'Do
you really, really, really want to do that?' I'd then be prepared to delete
the router entry in two weeks when they've had enough spam.
