Excuse me if this is a worn out topic but until recently I had no reason to follow this. I am a network admin for a 1500 member non-profit who has run its own web and email server for over 10 years. We recently relocated to a Verizon area in the states that has only DSL available and Static IP is NOT available. We decided to use DynDNS as our solution and it works fine for web services. It works OK for email EXCEPT we cannot deliver mail to AOL, Verizon, Comcast and Netzero customers, as they apparently block dynamic address IP address ranges.
If any of you have been, or are in this situation, can you provide me some possible solutions. I have investigated relay via DynDNS and SMTPAUTH but they charge by the recipient and one newsletter distribution a month approaches the cost of having our domain hosted by a commercial provider. I actually considered this option until I see buried in the hosting sites and agreements a disclaimer that they will not guarantee email delivery to AOL and Verizon. We have lots of members with AOL, Verizon, Comcast and Netzero accounts. The obvious solution is to move the server offsite but this doubles the cost of service. Do you have experience with relay service providers and recommendations?
