Most of the sorbs lists are scored pretty low. I believe we shouldn't have an issue if: 1) The users on the dynamic IP are sending through their ISP's SMTP relay. 2) Trusted networks is set correctly 3) Trusted networks works properly (open bugs on this, I believe?) 4) SA is aware that the RBL in question is a "dialup" type list. I believe the way SA is supposed to work in this case is: "ok, someone at 1.2.3.4.dynamic.big.isp sent mail though mx-relay.big.isp. Since they went through a relay, I don't care if 4.3.2.1 is on a dynamic IP RBL". If you are on a dynamic list, and are not sending through a relay, well, that is a problem... Correct, a maintainer of a dynamic IP rbl is not going to remove and IP from a list because of your inconvenience... if they did, you'd have to call them every time you changed your IP! --Rich ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
