Subject: [spamtools] Anyone on the SA list?

If anyone here is actively participating on the SpamAssassin
forum(s), or any other forum for related products:

If there is a way to communicate to users of SpamAssassin (and other
content-based spam tools) that using blocklists like
dynablock.easynet.nl or any other dynamic/residential IP database to
check _every_ IP address in a mail header is not the right way to
use those databases, please do so.

Dynablock should only be used to check the IP address delivering the
email. We're getting more and more delisting requests from people
who are faithfully using their ISP's smarthost to see their email
rejected 'because it is from a dynamic/residential IP address' (two
or three Received headers below the ISP's outbound MTA ..).

We even got reports about an ISP that rejected email from its own
dynamic pools. This will cut down spam figures considerably, but
Jim, it's not life as we know it.
