(Sorry to do this to evereyone else, but I can't email Craig direct -
and this is a topic that's been discussed here before ;)
Craig, I tried to send you an email, and got bounced because:
<cas at taz.net.au>: host taz.net.au[203.16.167.1] said: 550 Service
unavailable;
Client host [203.113.200.177] blocked using dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net;
Dynamic IP
Address See:

Interestingly, as per the headers:

My mail goes from me, through a static host, to you. It appears that
you're blocking based on the client address, not on the mail server
address. That means that I can't send you email, even though I'm
sending through a legitimate server (and am, in fact, a legitimate
sender of email, not a spammer ;)
The IP I'm on is listed in SORBS as being dynamic - which it is, and
which is why I send through mx3.paradigm4.com.au, which is a static box.
Can you re-tune your filtering, or is there a legit reason for
disallowing mail through static boxes from dynamic addresses?
