Generally this is "use a greylisting implementation which masks on
/24 for v4 / /64 for v6".

Sometimes using dnswl.org to exempt from greylisting is good enough,
but it doesn't cover all senders that need it.

That works sometimes, but figuring out which domains you need to do it
for it is a real pain, and some places use SPF macros such that you
need to do a live DNS lookup using the actual sender's IP in order to
determine whether it's permitted or not.
