It is not rocket science, just tedious.

Start rejecting the "unknowns", that is, IPs without an RDNS. They are not 
bound to any specific domain, but their helos and envelope from never fail 
pretending to be from places they do not belong. They are usually rejected by 
SPF, but why wasting cpu cycles?

Next are the low-hanging fruits of dynamic domains, those that have "dynamic" 
in their name, thank you.

Next are those with "dhcp", "wifi", "mobile", and plenty more similar to the 
above. You just do not want to receive an e-mail from someone's exploited 
printer or a home router or anything that is just not meant as a post office 
you can respond to.

Next in line are those with lots of numbers in their RDNS, usually the same 
numbers of their IP.

We spent months herding those free-range animals... Catching them is tedious, 
because there is no standard that binds ISPs to just prefix all such domains 
with "dyn-".
