I sent mails out through hotmail because if I send out through courier, I cannot receive replies due to the authentication problems I have.
One's ability to receive replies has nothing to do with the mail server that sent the original messages. Although hotmail.com publishes SPF records, and mail sent with a @hotmail.com return address from your own server may be refused by some recipients that check SPF records, that affects only sending the mail. It has no effect on receiving to replies, presuming that the original message has been delivered.
In all the materials I have read about Courier, I have not seen anything said about DNS and MX records. Do I really need to use DNS and MX records?
If you want to receive mail on your IP address, you need a domain and an MX record specifying your IP address.
We receive our Mails through our ISP who is based in Italy. The way it works is that our Mails are delivered to our ISP and we now download from there. We have over a hundred mail users here.
Presuming that you mean that you already have your own domain, you already have an MX record that points to your ISP's mail servers. Changing it at your own IP address will result in anyone sending mail to your domain trying to deliver that mail to your IP address.
