I avoided the problem by only ever sending email on behalf of customers, not receiving. IE, saas app can send out quotes and invoices and things but any replies go to the end users own address not any of our servers, and didn't host our own email.
What I didn't do was ignore the problem or think there was no problem. Things still got blocked elsewhere but I (personally or my company) didn't do it.
I recognized that handling someone elses correspondence is a non-trivial responsibility. Yes the job is hard, and so you either decide that is your whole job, or you outsource it to someone whos whole job it is. You don't just do a poor job because it's hard and not your all day every day job.
I question whether you or what other percentage of the commenters in this thread represent any specific ASN with its own IP space that it cares about keeping clean, and have bgp relationships with other ISPs.
Or whether they're actually end users only.
Have you actually encountered this problem as a service provider in the past and implemented solutions to it, or are you just sharing your opinion as a possibly-frustrated end user of email?
