I cannot bribe every ISP in the world. So I have to ask my clients to
run their own mailer. That is what I do too. That is why I am using a
dynamic ip-address.

As most blacklists ban dynamic ip-addresses I cannot use them, nor can
my customers.

Nevertheless there exist efficient methods to get rid of spam.

Greylisting works without collateral damage.

Greylisting even works for operators without a clue.

With blacklists you close out the legal users but you keep the spam.
With greylists you may dely a legal user but you do keep out the spam.


Kind regards
