So as not to hijack the original thread, I will start a new one. > From the perspective of dynablock and NJABL, *any* end-user IP address > is listed.. Is this true? The DynaBlock documentation says, "The IP ranges (/24 ranges) that are in our DynaBlock zonefile are based on a number of criteria and principles: 1. we probe the PTR records for IPs 20/40/60/80/100/120/140/160/180/200/220/240 in each /24 2. all twelve PTR records must have one of the following terms: tnt (uunet uses these) dial dyn slip ppp ipt (aol uses these) modem dip pool nas cvx (Nortel dial-up Access Switches) and others" So, it would seem not *any* end-user IP address is listed, only those who fit the aforementioned criteria. Some clarification would be useful. For instance, does a single IP address get penalized because others in its /24 range are marked as dynamic, whereas the IP address itself does NOT fit the criteria? My own IP address, for example, has a legit PTR (mail.asarian-host.net), but others in that /24 range may not have. Fortunately, I am not blocked. But that does not conclusively answer the question. And the question to me is relevant. Because I have started blocking dynamic IP addresses myself (via Milter), but I want things to be "reasonable". That is, if I find that the PTR of an IP address seems ligit (defined as: "containing no apparent dynamic markup"), I will not block. From reading the DynaBlock documentation, it would seems they follow the same policy. Is there anyone here who has some answers on this matter?
