Of course, even Spamhaus's own website says the PBL is not a blacklist and that you can remove your IP address from their list if you are running a "legitimate" mail server, but only if it's a static Ip address. They provide no definition (that I can find) of what constitutes a "legitimate" mail server > Obtaining a static IP is easily done so > I don't know why someone would want to risk using a > dynamic IP. Most ISPs I have seen charge considerably more for a static IP address; generally, commercial prices rather than home-user or small-business prices. Unless you have relatively high bandwidth requirements there is no point. It is *definitely* not worth the expense just just to avoid an occasional over-zealous mailserver admin spuriously binning one of your perfectly valid email messages. Even if you are hosting a website or an incoming mail server, there are plenty of dynamic DNS services available for many times less cost than having a static IP address. > In any case, a very large percentage of > SPAM originates from dynamic IPs, which is why I > routinely block them. A large percentage of spam originates from the USA. It would be just as rational to block mail from all IP addresses that are listed as being there.
