you can whinge and bitch and moan all you like, and it aint going to
change a thing. ever. SORBS DUL lists dynamic IP addresses based on the
best evidence available. people are going to use SORBS DUL even in spite
of the occasional mistake. that's because the thousands - even millions
- of spams and viruses that you can block using it far outweigh the tiny
handful of legitimate mail that *might* come from dynamic address space.
the amount of legitimate mail from dynamic addresses is negligible, a
drop in the ocean, not even the faintest signal lost in all the noise.

in short: DULs are a fact of life. they're not going to go away because
you (or anyone else) don't like them. deal with it.
