This list (dnsbl.sorbs.net) is not necessarily spammers and should NOT be a sole basis for blocking email. Someone with admin on the KCLUG server please remove this ridiculous block. I am not using my ISP's SMTP relay because it also is blocked-- not because it is dynamic, but because it is on a legitimate spam blacklist.
While I dont agree with sorbs.net blacklisting a /17 block of IP addresses, I do think that dnsbl can be a good thing. I have found the open relay in the netblock and am attempting to contact the admin of the server, as well as the ISP in order to get the relay closed.

Hear, hear!
I agree with this enough to reconfigure and restart my mail server just to route around this block.
It's far more likely that a LUG user is running a legitimate mail server that is MORE secure from spam than his ISP's than that the list is getting spammed by some viral bot on a home winbox. Use dnsbl.sorbs.org for scoring, not for blocking.
