Please be very careful how you proceed here. I agree that dynamic IP
addresses are inappropriate for SMTP. But, not all DSL addresses are
dynamic.
I run SMTP over DSL with a static IP and full DNS support, including
reverse delegation. This is perfectly legitimate. I am not operating
an open relay. I have not spammed anyone. AFAICT, I am in complaince
with IEC best practices for SMTP. If I am doing something wrong,
please notifiy me via postmaster, and I will fix it.
Otherwise, you have no right to tell me I should not do this. :-)
