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'?
Sloppy wording on my part, so thanks for bringing it up. You had it right:
dynamic IP DSL and dynamic IP cable (not too common, these days). I believe
that some "dial-up" lists also include static IP cable netblocks where the
provider has stated that customers in these netblocks are not permitted to
run a mailer (at least they used to include those). If you do this with
reasonable care, you will rarely get a false positive. When you
occasionally do, it will generate a DSN, not get silently dropped as with a
content filter. No disappearing email and no dozens of false positives. If
some of your correspondents insist on running rogue mailers, whitelist them
and/or ask them to get a legitimate setup.
I agree with that policy, but what lists are you using? My main worry is that
there are maybe list maintainers that go around and see 'oh that looks like a
netblock used for dynamic dsl', without having hard data to back up this claim.
