Declan, some of the blacklists are listing the IP's that cablemodem providers assign their clients. This is screwing small publishers - often cablemodem is the only broadband we can get (no DSL out past a DLC), so their unilateral decision that "cablemodem=spammer" has screwed a lot of people. Their decision seems to be based on the fact that my IP is listed as "dynamic" as it's issued by a DHCP server and listed as dynamic in ARIN. However, my IP hasn't changed in over a year. I think they're being asinine and seriously misguided. Most importantly, they're doing the baby/bathwater thing and hurting those of us who are trying to keep the spirit of the internet alive.
