Use your ISP to send mail.
A lot of the spam zombies are coming from dynamic IPs and it's just plain sense to reject any email coming directly from those IPs.
Sorry.. No sympathy. I'm using a dial-up connection with a dynamic IP on a ISP that has had spam problems and *never* get email rejected.
I maintain mail servers and I use (free) services of black lists. If your IP is listed, tough.
I'm also on dialup; I use my IAP's mail server to relay my outgoing mail.
Even aside from problems with blacklists, using your IAP's relay makes sense if you have any volume of mail; your outgoings go quickly to your IAP who then has to worry about deliveries which _can_ take hours, days sometimes.
Those black lists stop _a lot_ of spam. I get a few a day and dozens a day <plonked>.
