and then the "subscriber networks" filter lays waste to Orcs:

sending machine is on a proscribed subscriber access network. Send from a
non-subscriber network (total: 4863)

Then PTR hostname and sender.domain filtering:

As you can see, be defining ATTBI subscriber networks as illegitimate, we
solved that abuse problem definitively, with no false positives.  the rest
is peanuts, such as spam coming form ATT MTAs.

When ATT fixes their abuse problem on their subscriber networks, we will
remove the blanket block on their subscriber nets.  Fair enough?
