Many of us public MTA operators think you're looking to fight the wrong
war. The RBLs are the only thing holding the Internet mail service
together right now. If you want to make the dynamic IP blacklists go
away, you need to do something about the infested Windows PCs on those
IPs. No one used a dynamic IP list until all those home PCs got turned
into spam zombies. Most of us would gladly stop using them if there
wasn't a crushing volume of sleaze coming out of those addresses. No
filtering solution can keep up without a major investment in hardware.
I would have to double what I charge people if I stopped using RBLs.
