Because I'm finding them on a regular basis.  These are not "previously known" 
senders.  These are people that may be emailing our employees for the first or 
second time ever.  And getting 6 hour delays -- which isn't going to work for 
us.  Therefore, excluding the servers is not really an option since I won't 
have seen the server to know about the problem until it is too late.

Agreed.  :)
