But do those "honest" (better: "genuine") users have:-

(1) rDNS ? Probably not because it is a dynamic IP address with a host
name, if a host name actually exists, like
123-123-123-66.dymanic.example.net


(2) A HELO/EHLO name which resolves to the IP address being used ?
Probably not.


How can the "honest" receivers of emails (MTA sites) distinguish (or
separate) the "honest" incoming traffic from the usual flood of
"dis-honest" traffic sent from the same range of IP address ?

Why are "honest" users with dynamic IP addresses, unable to route their
outgoing email traffic via a smarthost or via a very cheap VPS running
MTA software like Exim ? VPS's usually have between 1 and 8 fixed, or
static, IPv4 addresses plus the ability to create DNS records such as A
and MX.

Because mail admins, like me for example, are unhappy at the vast amount
of spam originating from ranges of dynamic IP addresses. After a while,
we block hosts like

*airtelbroadband.in
*adsl.alicedsl.de
*dynamic.se.alltele.net
*alshamil.net.ae
*adsl.anteldata.net.uy
*aphie.info
*pools.arcor-ip.net
*static.arcor-ip.net
*as9105.com
*as13285.net
*as43234.net

et cetera, et cetera.

    *host..
    *dyn.....

    
etc.

plus the commercial spammers. For example
