When a dynamic IP site is relaying through someone else, the relaying host will be responsible if and when the dynamic IP site misbehaves. If they're sending directly, then no one needs to claim responsbility as the receiver cannot block the sending address easily due to its dynamic nature. OTOH, if a relay doesn't do something about a spammer, it can easily be blocked, thus giving a relay's admin a very strong incentive to act. -- Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 is out!
