Presumably it's complaining that you are sending "direct to mx" from a dynamic IP address. If you run a mail server on an dynamic address, you should send your outgoing mail through a smarthost. > And on that subject, am I the only person who thinks that > blocking by IP address block is inefficient, brute force, and prone > to both false positives It's extremely efficient, blocklists catch most spam, many spamassassin installations would be overwhelmed if they had to deal with it all. It's arguable that there's no such thing as a false positive in this area anymore, because the consensus against receiving mail from dynamic addresses is now so strong that it's in the senders own interest that they be forced to fix their problem. > and false negatives? That's why we have Spamassassin.
