Som recipients not only require a static address, but they require an
MX record for the envelope from that matches up with the static address.
Even with a static IP address and an MX record, I still wasn't able to
send mail directly to some recipients because the MX record for the
domain in the message From: header didn't match up with the static IP.
I finally had to give up sending e-mail direct and went through the
mail server provided by my ISP and/or mail provider.
