Their initial email said :

Trend Micro Notification: 137.148.0.0/16 added to DUL

and then went on to say :

To work with us, please generate the following three lists:
=20
1) TOTAL ALLOCATED SPACE =96 in CIDR format
Please include all information for the space you announce.=20
The total of Static and Dynamic space must equal the=20
Total Allocated Space.
2) DYNAMIC SPACE LIST - in CIDR format
3) STATIC SPACE LIST - in CIDR Format

vention of=20
*csuohio.edu* as dynamic and the WHOIS information doesn't indicate that th=
e space is static.

Seriously .. we're a college campus, not a colo. Org-Abuse roles is defined=
(and valid) and real people read the RFC2142 required addresses. What more=
do these people want?
(Note: they did eventually say "okay, we see the MXs as static so those are=
n't listed" .. but not without some discussion).
