Actually, it's been a static IP (66.92.53.140) ever since it was set up in 
2001.  I consider objecting to the fact that the reverse DNS lookup indicates 
that the connection technology hooking that machine to the net is DSL to be 
about as rational as blacklisting a mailserver because it's on token ring 
connection.

But he's right that nobody can demand that he accept email from the project's 
maintainer.  He seemed upset when that worked both ways, but it's not my 
problem anymore...
