What's the ratio? 1:100000 (ham:spam)? I don't know, because I don't have statistics on how much of my mail comes from dynamically-addressed hosts. And if you block mail from dynamically-addressed hosts, *you don't know either*. The people who seem most sure that this doesn't block "much" legitimate mail appear to be exactly those people who can't know it, because they *are* blocking mail with this technique.
