No need to give up.

I have a cable modem, which gives me a dynamic IP address. I've been 
running a mail server (Postfix) for YEARS.

I use the services of tzo.com. My router automatically re-registers my 
IP address with them whenever it changes. It doesn't change very often.

Yes, I'm blocked by most RBL lists due to my being on a cable modem. I 
get around this problem by routing all of my outbound mail through my 
ISP. Doing that is quick and easy. I simply modified the 
"/etc/postfix/main.cf" file to contain "relayhost = mail.myisp.net".

Good luck!
