that's because it is NOT AT ALL IMPORTANT that the ultimate origin was a
dynamic IP - the vast majority of email (at least, thatcoming from ISP
mail servers) does originate from a dynamic address.
The important factor is that the delivery attempt is coming direct from
a dynamic IP.

no, it's like saying "if you want to communicate with me, then do it
through some verifiable/accountable channel".
i.e. send it through a legitimate/known mail host and it will get
through but if you try to send it direct then it will bounce.
