There are hosting companies handing out individual IPv6 addresses to
customers.  You don't have to tell me what a bad idea this is, but they
claim they're stuck with it due to some characteristic of the networking
hardware they bought.  (A counter-argument, of course, is that your poor
business decisions are not my problem, and if you don't want your whole
datacenter blocked every time a customer leaks spam, you better figure out
how to fix that and give a /64 to each customer.)

>How do I end up on the whitelist?

That's the introduction problem.  It's older than the spam problem,
and equally unsolved.
