I have a block of static IPs. I have the blessings of my provider.
I was even asked to stop using their servers as a "smart host".
Yet, my IP numbers are listed as being a range used as "Cable, DSL &
Dial Ups" and mail from my server is being blocked by those who use
SORBS. I do everything I can to keep my server locked down and not
to be relayed through. I even go test it once in awhile to make
sure there are no exploits open. Blocking an IP range just without
knowing they are open relays or sending out spam is no better than
arresting a black man because the police officer has some idiot
belief that black men commit all crimes.
