You may get to keep the same dynamically assigned IP for long periods,
but it is still a dynamic IP. The various lists just maintain blocks
of IP addresses that are known to be dynamically allocated to dial-up
and consumer broadband customers. If you want to send e-mail directly,
you really need a proper static IP that is assigned from a separate
block than the ISP's dynamic block(s).

Thanks,
I will likely just use the ISP's smtp server for outbound mail. I don't
seem to have a problem with inbound, as I can send mail to my domain.
There are only a handful of users on the domain right now anyway. Once
there are more, I can justify the cost of a static IP. When I do get a
static IP, I will make sure I specify I need one on a different block
from their dynamic ones. Is there anyway to look at the assigned IP and
see if it is just one from their DHCP block? (i.e., they aren't lying.)
