You're complaining about that list. However, if you want to send mail using your domain name ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), you have to use a static IP. Can't you understand that? What're doing is as hosting a website at home, while using a 56k bandwith line... If you want to do something specific, you have to get what's needed. I think the first thing you have to do is to find a good ISP. The one you're using is bullshit (it should allow you to send email using the "from" adress you want). And use a STATIC ip. Since I use dnsbl.sorbs.net, I receive approximately 15% less spam. I'll continue to use it, and a lot of other people do so.
