http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl

This is a SpamHaus controlled, but provider provided (if you see what I
mean) list which is described as follows:

"The Spamhaus PBL is a DNSBL database of end-user IP address ranges
which should not be delivering unauthenticated SMTP email to any
Internet mail server except those provided for specifically by an ISP
for that customer's use. The PBL helps networks enforce their Acceptable
Use Policy for dynamic and non-MTA customer IP ranges."

It went into beta yesterday evening GMT.

There is a method whereby an end user can request supression of a given
IP address, and it looks like the big UK players are already submitting
their space to it - I know NTL/Telewest have, as that's who I use.

Perhaps this is the new generation of "DUL"?
