There already are. That's how the quick-reaction blacklists get
their speed.
But it's not so bad. Lists such as cbl.abuseat.org and dsbl.org
don't accept reports from the general public, and they will
immediately remove an entry, by anyone's request.
Yes, that may solve the problem with DHCP dynamic IP MTAs, Once you
have got your instance of a dynamic IP, you could check it at the RBL
and get it off the blacklist, which would probably happen instantly.
And then you can use your MTA. Would that work?
Even if an address is removed from the database immediately, the DNS
update and caching effects generally add up to two hours delay. In
theory it could be more.
