Please be very careful how you proceed here.  I agree that dynamic IP
addresses are inappropriate for SMTP.  But, not all DSL addresses are
dynamic.

I run SMTP over DSL with a static IP and full DNS support, including
reverse delegation.  This is perfectly legitimate.  I am not operating
an open relay.  I have not spammed anyone.  AFAICT, I am in complaince
with IEC best practices for SMTP.  If I am doing something wrong,
please notifiy me via postmaster, and I will fix it.

Otherwise, you have no right to tell me I should not do this.  :-)
