Setting up Black & Whitelists by domain

You are trying to specify a ruleset as the result of a ruleset, whereas you should only specify a yes or no (or whatever the legal values are for that option in the config file).

I don't know any easy way of achieving what you want to do, if its no possible to combine all the rules you want into a single ruleset.  If you are running a version of MS since 4.03 and you know some perl you could get your hands dirty and write a custom function in 
CustomConfig.pm to handle this (see the top of the config file for details about how to call this function).  I imagine it would be possible to achieve what you want like that.
