Please THINK before doing . Hth , JimLYou seem to think that customers give ISPs a choice. The fact is, customers scream about the 50-90% spam that hits their mailbox and want it gone at any cost. Whitelisting is easy, and done when requested. Customers are happy.
White listing is NOT what was being discussed . Tho is can be adventagous in the right circumstances .
The stance now stands, if you can't afford a static IP address to properly run a mail server, then use a smart host. If a server isn't static, then the IP address can't be trusted or the next guy at that IP address will be a spammer. Most places will whitelist based on email address or vanity domain if asked.
And neither was Static addressing . Filtering was being discussed based on some unknown (to me probably others as well) methodology .
