Bandwidth Prejudice -- On the next Jerry > Springer. Not at all. ISP's that provide dynamic IP instead of static IP just have to provide a relay server with a static IP for their customers. The only "prejudice" here is against non-accountable IP addresses. Really, Paul needs to not be running RBL, per se, but instead signing weekly certificates for mail servers that aren't in the database. If someone SPAMs, then they don't get their certificate signed. Alternately, you could put up your own server and answer dialup IP queries yourself, and forward all others to Paul's server. Of course, I'd never point any of my machines at your server, given that youd let in the UUNET and PSINet cretins who run open relays and refuse to do anything about them... I doubt you'd get many takers, in fact. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
