I know of at least 10 ISP that have "written in stone" that under NO
circumstances are dialup and dhcp users allowed to send mail. They have
made this "policy" ironclad. Because of this, the patterns that involve
these ISPs and others like them are not going to fad.

For this reason, DynaStop does not have to be as fluid as a RBL and is not
subject to a time to live issue as a RBL is.

DynaStop is installed locally so the relevancy of rapid pattern updates is
at the sole discretion of the administrator of a given system with the
ability to exclude particular IP addresses that may not be subject to a
given ISP's TOS/AUP.

With Exim's warn ability, it would be very easy to tag a message and leave
the decision to the end user to filter locally tagged messages as well.

It is the standard server signature that goes out on all messages that leave
this system.
