So you're a geek running a mail server on the end of a DSL whose ISP
itself classes it as "dynamic" when people ask, and you think
posting to debian-isp is in some way going to help you?  I
sympathise with your position and motivations but unfortunately this
is not that kind of Internet any more.

As others have said, the days when what you want to do worked
reliably are over, and no one here can help.  I don't use SORBS DUHL
for binary blocking decisions because as you and I agree, the amount
of rules and conditions placed upon ISPs is IMHO not reasonable.  I
don't recommend that others do either.  However, that does not alter
the fact that you're delivering mail directly from a source that
"looks spammy".

So don't.

Cheers,
Andy
