Hi,
this seems to be an emerging problem with some RBLs (e.g. SORBS). There are
seemingly lots of dialup IPs listed in SORBS 'open proxy' and 'open relay'
database, which belong to dialup users. Those users may once have had an
insecure machine or a virus, but now completely DIFFERENT users get
punished just because they happen to have received the listed dynamic IP
from their ISP.
I rely on RBls quite heavily (about 50% of my mail input is blocked by RBLs,
and lots of SPAM that did not come directly via is scored based on RBL
information), but I begin having my doubts.
IMHO dialup IPs should not be listed in "open proxy" or "open relay" RBLs
for months (as the case with e.g. http://openrbl.org/#213.39.202.12)
Any ideas?
