We can thank the usual suspects - Cogent, Qwest, AT&T, Comcast - and in Europe: BT, NTL and possibly the world-abuse-leader, Deutsche Telekom (who run dtag.de and t-dialin.net) for this being the situation.

Here's another tale of undeliverable email. It seems that [at least] one of those organisations you mention assigns IP addresses for its ADSL customers from the same blocks as dial-up. Which means that organisations using MAPS-DUL reject email from teleworkers (or indeed people running businesses with an ADSL connection) who run their own SMTP servers. -- Roland Perry
