Unless static IP space is delegated directly to a customer then there's no reason to believe that any mail server running in that space is legitimate. SMTP just does not play with dynamic IPs, especially if you don't have reliable, secure, dynamic DNS updates on both the forward and reverse!
Greg, as usual, you just plain don't know what the hell you're talking about. SMTP works just fine with dynamic IPs, *IF* both ends are following the relevant RFCs. You don't follow them, so shit doesn't work for you. That's your choice, and it's yours to make; but stop pontificating that the rest of the world should follow it, and that it's the technically sound choice.
