Re: Getting fqdn, postfix, Comcast to all play nice together

I like that. I'm worried about one of the requirements here (under "Things you will need"): 

"

• A  permanent internet connection and an IP address for your mail server that does not change. The IP address should not be blacklisted on the internet. Check the IP address at web sites like http://www.anti-abuse.org/multi-rbl-check/ or http://rbl-check.org/. If your IP address shows up on black lists then other mail servers on the internet will likely refuse your emails or consider them spam."

Out of curiosity I ran against the second website and tried to see if the present IP the router has has an issue. So far only two marginal servers have an issue with the current one out of what looks like (about) dozens. I'm currently on a "free" year trial of Amazon EC2 from AWS. I was concerned about the costs. Compared to others. It looks like this could be done for under 15.00 USD for a cost. Any thoughts for or against Amazon?
