In one line:

^Newsgroups:.*[, ]gmane.spam.detected(,|$)

Yes. I use <http://www.dyndns.com/> to obtain a "real" domain, and 
similar free services are available elsewhere. With the arrangements 
you've made, there's a danger that the FQDN might suddenly start 
belonging to somebody else, even if your IP number is alleged to be 
static.
