The correct way to send email is to relay your email to your ISP's
mail-server, and NOT send from your DHCP allocated address directly.
The FreeBSD lists require the incoming mail-connection come from an
IP-address which has a reverse IP entry for it, making it much easier
for them to track who has been abusing the lists.
