The only correct response to this argument is to give them a full
unfiltered mail feed, I'm sure they'll ask you to implement whatever
anti-spam methods seem reasonable soon enough.

I know this sounds harsh, but callouts are just one of many methods used.

I've seen legitimate mails constructed by businesses who don't have a clue
how to use email be trapped by SA, so obviously SA is costing them potential
business too. If they want a full unfiltered mail feed, I'm sure they can
have it...
