My ISP has been "blacklisted"!

So you are relaying mail via a dynamic IP? You deserve to be
blacklisted (i.e.: that dynamic IPs are blacklisted).

Nope... I'm not doing anything wrong, unless you count *inheriting* an IP
address that has been used by someone who was. Think of it like moving to

Many ISPs are blocking all mail from ALL dynamic IPs. It doesn't matter
how many times you unplug your DSL modem and get a new IP, you're still
going to be on a dynamic IP, and therefore still be unable to send email
to AOL, RoadRunner, Juno, NetZero, Hotmail, etc. I've got a list of a few
hundred domains where I have to forward email through my ISP's mail
server, which I hate to do because they are slow and unreliable, unlike my
own postfix server.

I've never understood why women douse themselves with things that are alleged

So a static IP would solve the problem (given that the ISP has some clue
and has not also listed that range also in the dial up list)?

Yes, if they have a separate IP range for their static customers. If they
just give you an IP in the middle of their dynamic IP range, forget it.
