Those will get in. I'll use those lists with postfix, not on SA. Those
guys who runs a mail server on such dynablocks, if, and only if, using
their isp smtp, will have no problem at all. There will not be a
Received: line on headers if, using their MUA, they connect to ISP and
send the message.

Those legitimate servers running on dynablocks, if properly configured
and not relay-open, may be white-listed.

No, they will be REJECTed with an explanation message. It's different.

Agree, partially. We have sometimes 50-60% spam comming trough our
servers. One day it got 80% SPAM! This overloads our servers (some old
ones), our customers cannot pop their accounts from a dialup connection
- imagine a 30MB MAILBOX, not maildir, popped from a 56K modem.

I want to block those selling [EMAIL PROTECTED]@, asian porn, and such un-wanted
material, which represents about 50% of the traffic (pure guess). There will be some 
spam that will then be easaly downloaded by our customers and then filtered.
