More and more admins are setting their mail servers to refuse mail connections
from ISP dialup addresses. People are keeping lists of regexps that match
dialup blocks (eg; most ISP dialup addresses are similar, something
like foo-bar-baz-01.dialup.atl.bighonkingISP.net).

I've got a copy of the list- I'll see if I can find it and send it out..
