It's what Bill's been telling you to do instead of running DynaStop. It's a DNSBL which lists dynamic IP ranges which have mostly been submitted by the owning ISPs, specifically in order that people can block email originating from them. It's actively maintained, and arguably more accurate than DynaStop, since it lists real IPs rather than relying on patterns in hostnames. Bill argues that the caching nature of DNSBL lookups gives this mechanism an advantage over having to pass every presenting hosts's RDNS through a load of regexps - he's probably right for some patterns of traffic.
