I agree, however it can be very usefull. IN the link in my sig, go to header
(other) section. Search for MY_DSL rule. This has been working very well.

Bah! Here it is!

header MY_DSL Received =~
/\.atlantabroadband\.com|customer|ppp|poole?s?|modem|cable|node|adsl|dial|ds
l|client|(insight|tampabay|maine|nyc|nc|cinci)\.rr\.com|vc\.shawcable\.net|s
e\.client..?\.attbi\.com|\.(east|west)\.verizon\.net|(nj|sc)\.comcast\.net|\
.dis.net|\.charter.com|metropolis\-inter\.com/i
describe MY_DSL Contains likely dsl address in header
score MY_DSL 3.0

However I wish to change it to a meta rule and hook it with something else.
This rule would actually hit mail from my own domain. The problem is legit
businesses using DSL and the ISP not giving proper rDNS. Also the problem is
I'm not sending my mail thru my ISP's mail servers. 

Everyone on DSL would have to do one of those 2 things. That isn't likely to
happen. Which is why I want to make this a little more friendly. However, as
it stands now, I get very few FPs. But like I said, its a little
hypocrytical of me to run this rule that would tag my own :)
