Shea,

You may get to keep the same dynamically assigned IP for long periods,
but it is still a dynamic IP. The various lists just maintain blocks
of IP addresses that are known to be dynamically allocated to dial-up
and consumer broadband customers. If you want to send e-mail directly,
you really need a proper static IP that is assigned from a separate
block than the ISP's dynamic block(s).
