If your machines are fully capable then they will have permanent IP addresses
and no spam ever coming from them. In which case they will never get listed
in a DNSBL (*) and there is nothing to be concerned about.
(*) SPEWS level 2 and other excessively agressive DNSBL's may list you, but
don't worry about that. No-one has suggested that we use such DNSBL's. We
are talking about the simplest and most conservative ones that just list open
relays etc.
