Sure I do.

Just because I own an IP address and a domain name doesn't mean I
want to receive email from every dick on the planet.

Since domain names can be harvested by in-addr searches, as you have
correctly noted, possessing a list of domain names is insufficient
evidence to establish a good faith need to know the AUNIC details
of the holders of those domain names.
