As long as the IP is static I have no problems with accepting mail from
that netblock in general (except in cases where there is more than a few
spam sources from a single /24 of such IPs).
Dynamic IPs on the other hand deserve to be blocked wholesale. Ditto
with NAT gateways like some idiot cablemodem providers run (allotting
their users RFC1918 addresses and NATting all outbound traffic through
one or more IPs).
