The difference is in their descriptions.  ispip allows for certain
functionality bypasses.  AcceptAllMail is a whitelisted IP - performing
the same as if the email address was on the whitelist..

You can do either, but I think the better question is that if these are
internal IP addresses, why wouldn't you want them whitelisted?  That is
the default nature of ASSP - that internal sourced email gets
whitelisted and added to the corpus.

But it's really up to you: what types of email those IP addresses send,
and what your intent is.  I believe that AcceptAllMail would incur less
of a performance hit.

ispip is mainly to not force any sessions delays or scrutiny - to allow
the connection to take place as fast as possible -  and still be able to
perform other types of filtering against the content of the message. A
listing in ispip is to imply that the connecting server is a trusted
source for e-mail (such as your ISPs mail server), but the content might
not be.

Don't confuse what the function does with how things are commonly
referred to IRL (in real life).
