Then get yourself a personal colo (http://www.vix.com/personalcolo/) A dynamic ip is no place for a server of any kind. It is wrong - dynamic IP is just a dynamic IP. Nothing more.
if you are doing any filtering, do not name it IP; nname it _home network with elements of IP_, for example.
And it IS the isp's concern. Most of them would consider running a mail server on a home-user grade cable connection to be in violation of their AUP if push came to shove, and they have every right to block you.
Incorrect - they do not have any such AUP in place. It is your fantasy.

Next you'll block SIP if we start getting "spam calls"? Or any other application that pops up and is used by the same people sending spam
today?
There is the issue of usability. Why does a Cable user on a dynamic range need SMTP open?
Because I am running my own SMTP server @ FreeBSD, for example. It is MY concern, not ISP concern.
