[TriLUG] Domains blocking dynamic IPs

[Michael Thompson]

Hey guys, just wondering...  whats wrong with relaying all of your mail
through your isp's smtp server and avoiding the hassle of keeping lists
of 'unfriendly' mail servers altogether?  If its for security purposes,
can't your isp sniff out your unencrypted messages as they are
coming/going anyway if they cared that much?

BTW: something I got from an earthlink address this morning (auto
response):

<snip>
This is an automatic reply to your email message to
$USERNAME at earthlink.net

This email address is protected by EarthLink spamBlocker. Your email
message has been redirected to a "suspect email" folder for
$USERNAME at earthlink.net. In order for your message to be moved to this
recipient's Inbox, he or she must add your email address to a list of
allowed senders.

Click the link below to request that $USERNAME at earthlink.net add you to
this list.
