From: "Aecio F. Neto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have been trying to post to this list using my original subscriber
email address.
Unfortunately, It has been not possible up to now.
I am using a personal and secondary address to workaround a dumb rule,
assuming that all hosts under a dynamic IP is a source of spam.
My office server IP is NOT dynamic, but is part of a Brazillian ADSL
range.
Sorry bothering you all with such matter but I wasn't able to quickly
locate an admin address and I HOPE this message get attention from
someone able to workaround my issue.
Regards.
The only good solution is to use your ISP's email facility for forwarding
email. If you post directly from a dialup address you will find a whole
host of sites that block your emails. Postings from dialup DSL addresses
are almost always spam. The exceptions are so few that blocking dialup
addresses or dynamically assigned addresses is catching on throughout
the Internet.

It looks like you may need to yell at your isp to get you unlisted. It
looks to me like they listed their block to enforce some policy (many do)
This raises another question from me,
my inet ip is 65.113.179.82
rdns of this yields: 65-113-179-82.dia.cust.qwest.net
Now, I don't clam to be an expert, but where in that does it say
'dynamic' to anyone? If you want to post to aol, your HELO MUST match
your rdns (has been in my case and a few others.)
Now, back to the task at hand...
My home ip address is
67.34.142.208
rdns of it is adsl-067-037-142-208.sip.mco.bellsouth.net
I called and asked what each part of this means
adsl-ip (duh)
sip = static ip (true)
mco = Melbourne Cocoa Orlando (telephone area)
bellsouth.net (duh)
now, this an asdl res address, but by quickly looking at that you can't
tell if it's biz or res. Now, I know this because a friend of mine has
the exact same connection (adsl static 3mb/384kb) but biz connection
(btw, bellsouth blocks 25in and out for res connections, not biz
connections.) I'm not going to provide his ip or rdns (they are his, not
mine to play with :-D ) but his rdns is the same setup adsl-ip
.sip.mco.bellsouth.net. The biggest difference, I'm listed as res ip,
and he's not (Bellsouth policy.) Would my friend be blocked because of
the 'adsl-ip.sip.mco.bellsouth.net'? If so I may need to look to a
different isp before I start my biz.
Now, back to here (work) rdns info
Obviously that's a Cust Qwest ip address
i haven't called to get what dia means,
Now, before someone says "hey, dia means dialup" ok.. that would be true
IF this was dialup, but it's not.
It's full T1 with VoIP (running on a separate ip address)
Currently when I send to this list I see HELO_DYNAMIC_IP from the list
apache mail server(s).
The question here... Should I be pressuring my ISP to change my rdns to
trusswood.net (our domain here) or just not bother ie, is there any real
damage that could be done?
