There are some services we choose to offer to our customers and there are
some services that we choose not to offer to our customers. If someone wants
a service we do not offer, we advise the to find someone who does.

I never have. I'm not sure what to really tell you, other than, you seem to
have a choice from among change it, leave it, or deal with it.

There is no deletion involved if the mail never arrived. I cannot imagine
any customer that would presume that mail they were expecting to get that
did not arrive was simply deleted from our server.
If a customer does complain that mail failed to arrive, and if it turns out
it was from a dialup line that tried to connect to us directly, I would tell
the customer to have the peron who tried to send the mail call us directly to
resolve the problem. If that person calls, I would advise them to not
attempt to bypass the normal mail servers, and to use the SMTP server
designated by their ISP, or get a dedicated IP address for their own SMTP
server so it can be properly identified as other than a dialup. If they
say anything that makes if convincing that they are really spammers, I will
simply, and rudely, hang up.
