Roberto, Your IP is listed in the DUL list because it is in a dynamic IP range. There's nothing to whine about there since it really does belong in that list. The point to argue about is whether it is wise for relays to block based on the DUL. My personal opinion is its an inneficient way of

Hi, Ok, let's that get everything clear. DDT provides DNS services. Not mail services. However, there's a relation between mail and DNS as far as mail routing go (read about MX records for more). We do not provide any kind of SMTP services for DDT users whatsoever. Now, why would someone want
