I say, why in the world would you want to add all the IPs of your ISPs
customers, to your IMail server? What about customers that might want to
come from some other ISP and using a different range of IPs? And if I spoof
one of those addresses, I'm now 'golden' in your eyes! Forget about using
IPs, except for specific machines you really want to relay for (like your
web server or a friends domain and its server) and have clients use SMTP
Auth for sending email.
