Ah, don't get me started on people who block based on the various
(generally very poorly maintained) dialup blacklists. And then complain
that they're not getting legitimate mail. But that's not what the
HELO_DYNAMIC-IPADDR rule is about. From the SpamAssassin source:
# Interesting new feature; spamware HELO'ing, from a dialup IP addr,
# using that IP's rDNS entry. We can catch this easily. There aren't
