I'm pretty sure things become a problem for me before they're added to
the drop list. I could be wrong, but I'm doubtful it solves any
noteworthy amount of problems for me as it never did when we used it
before. I stopped automating the use of external IP/range list blocks a
long time ago. Too much power to put in the hands of third parties any
more than you have to, IMO.

Go ahead and get on this clearly hijacked range next:

It's something new every 12-72 hours.

Another DROP denizen.
It stands for "Don't Route Or Peer" and it's not easy to get a block
listed. I have no idea why any mail provider would not be using it at
the network level. Zero collateral damage, because the people in
control of those networks have no innocent customers.
You can keep talking to those addresses if you like, but don't expect
anything non-malicious.
