But only if its done accurately. And right now, the state of the RDNS entries is such that it can't be done accurately. This is due in large part to the ISPs not having proper RDNS entries (or having sweeping blocks of static and dynamic, business and consumer class IPs with the same RDNS entries). I would like to first see the ISPs start accurately coding the RDNS entries such that we can tell the businesses from the consumers. And I have no problem filtering on consumer connections running their own mail servers. Then I want the ISPs to crack down on their own customers that spam. Difficult thing to do!!
