With so many customers, you have to be careful what you reject.
As a smaller operator, I track domain reputation, and reject on
NEUTRAL/NONE for domains with high spam stats in mail I receive.
This ends up rejecting on neutral for domains like aol.com.  

I should point out that AOL has a similar policy, except they track
reputation by IP address, and they unblock an IP they have blacklisted
after 3 days.

I am experimenting with a new reputation system (gossip) that tracks
on domain for SPF pass, but IP otherwise.
