Really? I am born with my skin colour, and I have access to a
DUL. When you have money to send to me to pay for static access here
in the boondocks, talk to me further.

You want to blacklist me, and you tell me I can ride on the
bus if I sit in the rear seats? That these seats are
graciously provided for us DUL folks?

Yup, move along to the back of the bus. You can' sit in the
front (use your own SMTP server) unless you have the wherewithal to
(skin color) to afford a static IP.
Smells like bigotry to me.

Frankly, I have aded you to my reject list. Yes, it is
arbitary, but no more arbitary than using DUL.
The reject message I have put up is "This message comes from a
server whose admin practices what we consider bigotry, and hence is
rejected".
I can reject legitimate mail with the best of the bigots.
