Hello Charles & All , Love all of you that want to filter , Please do I would bo one of those that you'd filter . I've been running my little home netowrk for ~8 years using dialup , isdn , adsl , cable . Never could get any employer to fork over better than that . It brings to mind something Randy said ,(something like) I highly recommend that my compititon ... That way people (ie: customers who know better) will find a non/inteligent-filering provider . Please THINK before doing . Hth , JimL On Fri, 30 May 2003, Charles Sprickman wrote:

Pretty much all the dialup lists contain dynamically assigned DSL/cable IPs as well. I don't have a problem with rejecting a 56k modem user with one of those lists. Even I'm leary about rejecting mail from DSL/cable customers in the same manner. Yes they shoud SmartHost to their provider. There are lots of times when that isn't feasible.
Dialup is a good throw-away, as is cable. DSL gets a bit more interesting, as you have "upscale" ADSL services, like Speakeasy, that give out static IPs and they tend to attract people who wish to run servers at home. Now a list that canned dialup, cable, and most dynamic IP DSL, that would be just peachy. But from where I sit, I'm still seeing lots of junk from other sources, usually overseas, and lately a good deal of domestic from co-lo providers that don't enforce their AUPs.
