Then you'll have no trouble convincing your would-be correspondant to
either whitelist your IP or drop SPEWS from their list of blocks.

Trying to convince us that your correspondant shouldn't use SPEWS or
that switching your ISP is too much work is a waste of your time.

They obviously don't understand the problem.  You don't negotiate with
spews.  You don't "resolve matters" with spews.  You simply do what
they ask.  What they ask is very simple: stop your customers from
abusing the network.  If you don't do what they ask, they eventually
end up listing your entire network.
