My ISP refuses to modify any DNS settings and won't give me a static IP address without a business account, so no proper reverse DNS. I don't have the resources to run my own nameservers, so what alternatives do I have in terms of running my own mailserver?
You'll probably want to use some free dns servers online (like freedns.afraid.org). Maybe another ISP might help in getting a static IP. I have a residential line, from a mostly-business ISP, who charges $250 for a symettric static-ip connection. It sucks, but I run lots of my own stuff at home.

I use a Linode VPS (~20 USD). They give full root access and a bunch of distributions to choose from (unfortunately no OpenBSD atm). They also give you the ability to manage your own host records via a web interface and a cheap backup option.
ARP Networks DOES have OpenBSD VPS. I run my mail there. How secure it is, is still up to how trustworthy they are. Probably lots more that gmail.
