It should not be listed in the Dial-ups' List.. if it is, then your ISP has a serious problem :) There might be an issue with your ISP refusing relaying, but I think it should be possible for you to either contact them and make them allow relaying for their customers, or send out messages specifying your e-mail address at the ISP in the envelope sender. In that case, the ISP will have to let the mail through, since it is indistinguishable from a client's connection to their SMTP server for outbound mail. Setting the envelope sender in outgoing PR's is now possible by tweaking the MAIL_AGENT variable; I personally have an alias for: env MAIL_AGENT='/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -froam@orbitel.bg' /usr/bin/send-pr I think that you reconfiguring your mail setup would be a much easier and painless way to go than making hub accept spam from all the cable modem users in the US (no offense intended, but a lot of spam *does* come in that way, which was, I believe, the primary purpose for setting up the Dial-ups' List in the first place :).
