No, they use their own computer as the outgoing mailhost. Thus, their
outgoing mail originates from a dialup. It wouldn't get through at all
if list.cr.yp.to blocks email from dialups.
I for one send my mail directly from my laptop. I don't care about
religious objections that I shouldn't do that; it saves the annoyance
of re-aiming my outgoing mail at the smarthost of whatever connection
my laptop is using at the moment.
(BTW blocking DUL has not interfered with my own email in a couple of
years now. So despite the big talk of folks who use it, I continue to
send mail directly from my machine. DUL blocking only works because it
is a rarely-taken measure.)
