However, it is recommended that dial-up users use their providers relay for exactly this reason. In fact, some providers even block port 25 making it impossible for people on dial-up to run their own mail-server. But I agree that completely blocking based on SORBS or other dial-up lists is not The Right Thing(R) to do.
99,99% of all ISP's don't block port 25 for any moral reasons, whatsoever. It's purely a buisness reason. It's to be able to charge "extra" from anyone who wants or needs extensive mail services. In fact, I'm more likely to get "blocked" by using my ISP, than I am using my own ... since when I do use my ISP, I'm in a pool with thousands of users, of whome there may be hundreds of spammers. Our common denominator (My ISP) is what is going to put us all, including (innocent ;-) me, into the same basket. When I think of many modern buisnesses, I'm constantly reminded of a "black humor" lyric (originally in Icelandic, doesn't rime in english): I'm the indian, hackle and harmony. I'm also a buisnessman. Cut off their "baldy", dry it and harden sell it back to them, at extreme prices.
