This is always frustrating to me when I talk to people about
Microsoft and to some degree Google.    They see the flashiest
fanciest car, but don't perceive that it doesn't have seatbelts
or other "boring" items.

I checked my mail logs for Greylisting related to a lot of the IP
you reference, and find I am already exempting them due to SPF.
Now SPF is admittedly a really lousy measure, but at least it's
*easy* to enable and cut out a lot of false-positive complaints.

My 2 cents.
