I'm not sure if you are referring to the above quoted rejection, or to something else, but the block 192.114.44.226/21 from which you tried to send e-mail to Ira Abramov is indeed Actcom dial-up pool, which rbl.eonspace.net blocks only this specific pool and nothing else (no Bulgarians here). > So > trigger-happy blacklisters are not exactly my favorite hereoes.

I'm well aware that many people (and many on this list) are running their own MTAs - and quite legitimately - on their dynamic dial-up IP. Unfortunately, there is simply no way to block zombies while not blocking such kosher setups, and for that reason all MTAs support the option of relaying all outgoing SMTP traffic through an ISP mail server, that will deliver your e-mail correctly - because you already pay your ISP for this service. Not taking advantage of a service you pay for and then complaining that you get blocked is not, IMHO, a valid stance. -- Oded ::..
