>>For example, my home IP (from which I'm composing this email right
>>now) is banned from MAPS, probably due to the previous owner,

it's probably looking at a list maintained by yet another group of
self-appointed officious self-righteous characters, that blocks
all dynamically-assigned addresses without realising that there
is a big practical difference between those addresses (like mine)
that are dynamically allocated once and then remain attached to the same
location as long as they aren't unused for ages, and those addresses
that are dynamically allocated on each call (which are probably
more attractive to spammers).  i call them officious and self-righteous
because there's no reasonable way to get a block of addresses
removed from the list unless (in my case) i am ntl:
which i am not.  i call them self-appointed, because they are.
of course, no one makes the receiving mail systems look at those
lists, so the fault is spread somewhat.
