This is a common occurrence with dynamic IPs.  Some spammer sends while he
has it or it's an open proxy, then someone else gets the IP and is penalized
for the previous activity.

I think what you're suggesting is that there needs to be some sort of
age-out mechanism for blocks against dynamic IPs, to remove them from open
proxy or spam blocks after a certain time if no further activity is
recorded.  Can't be perfect, but might help of BLs implemented it.
Obviously the IP would remain in DYNABLOCK.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] NJABL:NJABL Open Relay / Dynamic IP Conflict


Hi, all-

I have a cable modem in my apartment with a dynamic IP.

I sent a couple of emails tonight to others at my domain. These messages
FP'd. They were caught by NJABL, which has my current address listed as an
open proxy, with a listing date in January. This address is also listed
(correctly) in DYNABLOCK.

But if it's a dynamic address, the IP of whatever open proxy existed in
January has certainly changed.

Does anyone else see the illogic in NJABL's lists, or am I crazy?

Anyway, I am adjusting the weights of the NJABL tests so that no combination
can result in a hold weight.
