Well the line I pasted whitelists any hostname that contains the IP followed 
by 'static'. I'm sure there are people that disagree with doing so, but 
milter-greylist is but just one of several tools we use to filter spam, and a 
vast majority of our clients that use our spam filtering are small businesses 
that have large volumes of email communications with other small businesses.

If you only want to whitelist the static IP customers on that ISP (you don't 
want to whitelist the dynamic ones most likely, that is where most the junk 
comes from), just change the regex to have the domain at the end somewhere, 
such as:

/[0-9]{1,3}\-[0-9]{1,3}\-[0-9]{1,3}\-[0-9]{1,3}.*\.static\.example\.com\.au/
