The fact that you use a static or a dynamic IP has, IMHO, nothing to do
with the problem, you have a CUSTOMER ADSL connection, that seems to be
a cheap one, and that's ENOUGH to be considered as a potential spammer,
even you don't like it. The reverse DNS is only A PART of the problem,
but it wont solve ALL your troubles.

If you are searching for a provider, we do it from Singapore, Sydney,
Florida, Paris and Israel, and we accept wire transfers, cheques, etc.,
and we are not the only one... The first price is 12 USD/month, which is
more than affordable... We will soon open in London, Barcelona, Italy,
Shanghai (but I can't forecast when), and there are a lot of competitors
in those areas already, some are even cheaper.
The web hosting market is clearly going into this direction, a big part
of it is because of the price and what it can offer, but also because of
all the possibility it can offer. This is clearly the best way to have
low volume MX servers and cheap DNS.
I'm sorry, but I had to reply to this one... I don't want people think
I'm doing advertizing (I wont most my site URL), just want this user to
understand VPS are cheap, and easy to get.

I agree 100%.
