Agreed, you can't relying on blacklisting specific IP's; you should instead
blacklist whatever the customer allocation is.   But that from discussion
here could be anything from a single IP to a /48, and you don't know :)

Given the RFC3041 privacy addresses will be commonly used, a sender on a
subnet can come from any potential host address anyway.
