Yes, that is exactly what they do. Don't worry about getting back at them,
just win. Reject it all before DATA based on connecting IP and PTR name.
Start with dynamic IP DSL and cable connections (regexp's or DNSBL), then
add DNSBL's for known spam sources. You will be very pleasantly surprised.

Never mind the dozens of false positives, just be happy with the 95% decrease.
Or was that 'dynamic ip (dsl and cable)' and not '(dynamic ip dls) and cable'?
