Jay's losing legitimate mail.

If you were a spammer and you kewn that if your IP's failure to resolve
would cause mail to be undelivered, would you not use an IP address that
does resolve?

I would. I may be naive here, but I reckon one of those free trial
accounts with AOL or similar would be ideal. I'd send my outgoing email
via the IAP's relay (so it leaves my box really quickly).

One company here has completely free Internet access; you get nominally
three-hour sessions between 1:00 and 7:00. And the IP addresses resolve.
Ideal.

So I reckon Jay will block a few dumb spammers and lots of legit mail.
