Of course it's possible, just as Mouss said. Have the ISP set your
custom reverse name (PTR) for your IP address. Use that name,
whatever it was that you decide on, as $myhostname in Postfix.
If the ISP can't/won't do that, you can't run a serious MTA there.
Use a relayhost or shop around for other options. Hobbyists might
find a VPS hosting service like Linode.com to be more affordable than
business-class Internet service.
