no, it's not. he was correcting a clear falsehood uttered by one of the
anti-SORBS crusaders.

it's his mail server, he can configure it as he likes. he likes to
prohibit mail coming direct from dynamic/dial-up address space. that's

PS: i use the SORBS DUL too. i think it is a valuable anti-spam tool.
i would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who wants to
reject spam and viruses during the SMTP session.
