In addition to previous news, GameSpy representative has recently announced that the problem was fixed. I'll quote Zora, the developer of Nephthys mod, who was contacting with the GameSpy representative:

Yes, it's true, GameSpy changed the master server to prevent some attacker from exploiting the master server list to blind out "unwanted" Deus Ex servers.
The last weeks I was in contact with a GameSpy developer to track down the problem and put up a work-around. The final change is running since today and many of you already noticed the full server list. :)
This core problem was fixed about 2 years ago, but unfortunately Deus Ex wasn't supported by the original game developer any more, so there wasn't anyone who applied the necessary fix to the game itself.
GameSpy, although not in charge for that, changed the behaviour of their master server to keep the Deus Ex game alive and allow all game servers to be listed. Although noone payed them for this old game, they don't accept an attacker dictating a certain game style.

Thumbs up!
