I, and believe many others, completely block any Dynamic IP range on my outer mail gateway (IMGate). They are infested with open relays, zombies, proxies. To me, blocking all this range is worth the one or two false positives that happen every month. I use sorb's list. Check it out at http://www.dnsbl.au.sorbs.net/DUL-FAQ.html. They are not that aggressive and don't block declude's server :)

I have heard on other threads that some just assume that if a message came from a server that has an IP within a range of IPs that is listed as being cable, DSL, or dial-up it should be treated as spam. When talking about this are people referring to all DSL and cable IP ranges or just the dynamically assigned ones? The reason I am asking is because I am thinking of tinkering with a setup on my home network to provide email to my family. I wouldn't consider myself an expert mail admin but I know enough from the mail administration I do at work to configure my server securely (and of course run Declude AV and JM :)) The only thing holding me back from playing with this project is that I fear my mail will be filtered as spam by most other mail admins because there is no way I can afford a T1 or above for my home. I would be using business class DSL or cable with static IPs. Any thoughts?
