Actually that's debatable - the SORBS DUHL is about IPs assigned to 
hosts/people/machines dynamically.  We do not list addresses where the 
ISP have sent the list explictitly saying 'these are static hosts, but 
they are not allowed to send mail' - similarly we do list hosts in the 
DUHL where the ISP has said 'these are dynamic but we allow them to send 
mail' - it's about the people using the SORBS DUHL for their purposes, 
not for helping ISPs getting around the issue of whether to use SORBS as 
a replacement to port 25 blocking.
