Put your servers in a colo (a la http://www.vix.com/personalcolo/ ) and the problems go away. It costs more to maintain a zone file that is not created by a perl script (ie, your generic rDNS). You can expect to pay for this. Presumably as a Unix sysadmin with 15 years of experience, this is a cost you can afford/justify.What will that 1U server help me if I am sending stuff from my Unix box at home via SMTP to it when my IP block is in the various 'dialup' RBLs and ends up in the Received headers, so every SA on the way happily scores it rather high as these RBLs sum up. What would be gained than at the end of it?
Think about what you just wrote -- if things actually worked this way, nobody who ran SpamAss would ever receive any mail. :) (if you're a conspiracy theorist or just weird, set up an ipsec, ssh, or gre tunnel and call it done). What's it buy you? Unblocked ports, control of in-addrs associated with your addresses, data center UPSes, data center cooling, (still subject to Acts of God as recent experiences in NoVA showed, but that's life), not having your *server* in a block that is identified as dialup. ---Rob
