Which is why black lists are hopefully going to be superceded by the newer
statistical and bayesian spam filtering style of control...

I got a bounce the other day from my dynamic IP address that was black
listed by ORBS in 2001 and never updated or removed.... I had to log on to
their website and get it to run it's test suite on my (non open relay) MTA
in order to get it removed from the ORBS db.

The internet is not simple and people trying to exert control over it are
probably going to continue to get it wrong for a while until they discover
the best means of prevention.

Address blocks are more popular/easier to apply policies on than single
addresses. So the tendency is for us to get tarred with the same brush as
a spammer on the same network as us.
