Thanks,
I will likely just use the ISP's smtp server for outbound mail. I don't
seem to have a problem with inbound, as I can send mail to my domain.
There are only a handful of users on the domain right now anyway. Once
there are more, I can justify the cost of a static IP. When I do get a
static IP, I will make sure I specify I need one on a different block
from their dynamic ones. Is there anyway to look at the assigned IP and
see if it is just one from their DHCP block? (i.e., they aren't lying.)
