I am sick and tired of hearing this argument. Guess how many choices I have for broadband where I live. The answer: ONE. And thank goodness I pay the extra $5/mo for a static IP from them, because theirs is one of the SMTP servers that sucks. The fact is, DULs as a blacklist is stupid. How an IP address is assigned to a computer has nothing whatsoever to do with what virus may be installed on it, which spam gang has made it into a clonebot, or whether it's got an open relay of some sort. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
