Nether do I. Their reason is that lots of spammers and viruses send 
straight from their own SMTP server so by blocking the dialup pools they 
reduce the chances of problems. Maybe I will just have to set up a 
tunnel, any one known how I can set up a tunnel using SSH so that the 
connection appears to come from the computer I tunnel into. I don't 
which computer I will use yet but it may have it's own SMTP server so I 
think I would have to tunnel to an unused port. e.g.
My Computer:25 --> Static computer:5678 which is connected to mail.com:25
Would that work?

Although maintaining a list of spammers IPs can be good IF it can be 
proved that only SPAM originates from the IP and they don't block whole 
subnets or domains or connections on dynamic IPs.
