Ok, so here's a question for your, Dave:
do you have a procedure for entertaining requests to be excluded from your replies from people with legitimate needs to operate MTA's, who have been given (let us say) static addresses by their providers which fall within a range you understand to be dialup?
(I'm assuming you include cable and DSL end-user address pools; this is the sort of thing I'm asking about.)
Of course, Jay. First off, static addresses don't belong on the DUL (unless the ISP chooses to list them). Second, any address can be removed by the ISP (even if it is a /32 in the middle of an otherwise all dynamic /16). End-users are directed to have their ISP contact us, as we *do not* take the end-users word for it. A quick note to dul@mail-abuse.com will get it handled. --
