The dynamic DNS registration is only mapping your forward lookup
(name->IP). I believe the problem is that AOL and mindspring are doing
reverse lookups (IP->name) which of course return the fact that you are
sending from a dialup IP from sprint.net. The simple fix is to use
Sprints SMTP server as a relay for all mail going to AOL and mindspring.
Others may have better suggestions. That's the best I can come up with.
