I switched to exim some while back, and I've been very happy. So I
can't really comment on whether or not I'd still be having the problem
with sendmail :>

With some of the more restrictive (and probably broken) spam
protection configurations, you may never be able to achive this goal.
To avoid that problem, I have exim set up to use our main mail machine
on campus as a "smarthost", so all outgoing mail gets routed through
there.

Doubtful. Unless a lot of things change, dynamic-IP's will always be
"second-class" citizens. But you can get pretty close...
