As far as we're concerned, if you don't have a static address for which

sending us email from that address. Such users are told to route their
email through their ISP or obtain a static IP address for their MTA.
If the DSL provider charges extra bucks for use of their mailserver or
doesn't have a mailserver at all and the client of a customer of yours
(we're an ISP) tells your customer "manage to receive my email or I'll
cancel the contract" what would you tell your customer?
How many of your own customers can you afford to loose because of that?
How many customers can we afford to lose if we continue to allow the huge
amounts of spam that were coming in via dialups? ;-) As always, tradeoffs.
Actually, we've had little to no complaints. Our user base is about 100,000.
