if you're comfortable with configuring and administering DNS and mail yourself you can probably find a virtual server with a static IP (essential for both NS and MX records) for not much more.
These days it is also essential that mail servers have a suitable reverse DNS (rDNS) entry as well.
no-one sane rejects incoming mail based on missing or inaccurate rDNS because most of the world's reverse-dns is fucked up and can't be relied on, mostly because it's run by ISPs who allocate IPs to customers without bothering to give those customers the ability to set the reverse DNS. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
