If you use the DSL providers SMTP service (free with any decent DSL connection) for outgoing mail
isn't the problem solved? When SBC started blocking port 25 we just switched our Exchange customers
outgoing mail to use smtp.sbcglobal.net (or whatever)...problem solved and no RDNS issues. Collaboration
and incoming still work and no outgoing blocking (unless your ISP's server gets blocked for some reason).
Please let me know if I'm missing something here.

Scott,

I never recommended wholesale blocking of all DSL lines. In fact, I even
stated that I myself used an SDSL line! See Mike K's well written response
to your post. He hit the nail on the head. You are putting words in my mouth
that I never used, nor would I use. This is about RDNS/IP issues, not the
method of transport itself, although I still question one's ability to
manage a stable mail server on an ADSL connection. Quite honestly, if a
commercial ADSL line is set up and labeled properly, I would never know
whether it was ADSL, a T1 or an OC3.
