One primary "root cause" has nothing to do with the activities of the system. The original poster mentioned he was on a dialup line, which implies dynamic IP addresses.

I am not on a dialup line and have a static IP, it's just the RBL providers incorrectly _assuming_ my IP to be dynamic.
Those mail admins have a solution that they think works for them. The blacklists I use, AFAIK, don't block IP addresses without confirmation, but I have no vote in _their_ choices.
Don't suppose they're going to take a lot of notice of your voice; but your IAP (I presume) offers you a easy solution. I (and others) have already recommended it.
Use your IAP's mail relay, and stop whinging about the injustice of the world.
