This is horseshit. the SORBS dialup list is inaccurate as hell.
it includes my legitimately purchased static business IP's. They are not
dialups, and it is impossible to get SORBS to correct it. It also includes
my ISP's mail server, and in any case relaying mail through a smarthost
such as my isp's mail server negates the benefit I pay for by running
my own to ensure that TLS end to end keeps conversations between myself
and other developers on OpenBSD-to-OpenBSD and not trivally likeley to
be sniffed and archived.
This is throwing out the baby with the bathwater, and IMO,
unneccesary.
