It's all well and good since the other /25 after doing a host on each are
all dialups anyway.

I don't believe it'll really come down to that. I've seen this one spammer
who has the from address as smtp2001soho@??? always attempting to
relay through me. Yes, I know that could be fake, however, it's been about
200 relay attempts on various IPs with that sender and 2 different
recipients.

Does anyone know if the spammers who do relay tests use bots on their drop
boxes or just check them manually?
