People sending mail from dialups and IP's without reverse DNS have several
choices:
1) Use their ISP's mail server to send mail and/or get their ISP to fix the
problem.
2) Ask a friend for an SSH account on a box that mail can be routed through.
3) Come up with a better way to block spam, so that everyone can stop using
RBL/RSS/DUL.
4) Do nothing except whine and cry every time the issue comes up in a public
conversation.
It seems that #4 is the preferred choice for some of the poeple on this list.
