As a rule of thumb, most RBLS automatically list dynamic IPs used for dial ups / modem pools of ISPs as suspicious. Simply because any mail from a dynamic IP is considered unsafe, in RBL terms !
Interesting . . . . i wonder how many false-positives this creates? i would think it would be quite a few, given the number of people who send emails from dynamic IPs . . . .
Nothing much you can do, other than ask your ISP to 1) add reverse DNS for the IP blocks and 2) try to get the IP block removed from the list(s)
*nod* Okay, thanks. Alexis.
