I understand all your points and they are all very validhowever should it be the case that someone be completely blocked purely on the basis of a dynamic IP ?
As much as I hate to say this, you are only one in millions of dynamic IP addresses infected with spam zombies. Sadly, this is a case of the greater good, allow millions of viruses and allow ONE innocent persion OR stop the hordes of virus and the ONE innocent person. It is a real pain. I know, I've been there, even with a fully qualified IP address. SORBS decided at some point that the entire 63.230.x.x/16 was all dynamic and not giving a damned that literaly hundreds of businesses would be wiped out. It was a real mess, thankfully fixed now. I, too, am among the many that believe most RBL's don't act responsibly. It is probably an irony that I wrote a tool to identify dynamic IP addresses. But there is one major distinction, I can exclude in a matter of seconds an innoncent victim and try to keep my filter to spammer infected IP addresses. A tight-rope act that I believe is better than just sacrifing large chunks of the internet.
To use your analogy of the airport a certain profile of person may raise more suspicion than another and may be more closely checked through security. Having that profile does not stop that person getting on the plane unless the closer checks reveal other attributes that raise suspicion. Imagine if they said you could not fly because you are Asian, Muslim or have a long beard !That would be crazy No they just look a little closer at you
Have you been to the airport lately. Especially in Europe. Many airports are doing just that. Most often, you'll end up catching a later plane by the time they're done scrutinizing everything including the underwear you're wearing..
