I am sick and tired of hearing this argument.
Guess how many choices I have for broadband where I live.
The answer: ONE.
And thank goodness I pay the extra $5/mo for a static IP from them,
because theirs is one of the SMTP servers that sucks.
The fact is, DULs as a blacklist is stupid. How an IP address is

may be installed on it, which spam gang has made it into a clonebot,
or whether it's got an open relay of some sort.
