If you are on Verizon DSL they should also provide you with email
accounts. If this is so, you could use their mail server as a gateway
for your mail server. I've done this in the past with a DSL provider.

I am a network admin for a 1500 member non-profit who has run its own
web and email server for over 10 years. We recently relocated to a
Verizon area in the states that has only DSL available and Static IP is
NOT available. We decided to use DynDNS as our solution and it works
fine for web services. It works OK for email EXCEPT we cannot deliver
mail to AOL, Verizon, Comcast and Netzero customers, as they apparently
block dynamic address IP address ranges.
If any of you have been, or are in this situation, can you provide me
some possible solutions. I have investigated relay via DynDNS and
SMTPAUTH but they charge by the recipient and one newsletter
distribution a month approaches the cost of having our domain hosted by
a commercial provider. I actually considered this option until I see
buried in the hosting sites and agreements a disclaimer that they will
not guarantee email delivery to AOL and Verizon. We have lots of
members with AOL, Verizon, Comcast and Netzero accounts.
The obvious solution is to move the server offsite but this doubles the
cost of service. Do you have experience with relay service providers
and recommendations?
