Ok, so here's a question for your, Dave:

do you have a procedure for entertaining requests to be excluded from
your replies from people with legitimate needs to operate MTA's, who
have been given (let us say) static addresses by their providers which
fall within a range you understand to be dialup?

(I'm assuming you include cable and DSL end-user address pools; this is
the sort of thing I'm asking about.)
