Hi Richard, ...
Eventually you could use my mailserver as a relayhost.
That is a very friendly offer, but if I do, that would of course only
be temporary, so that I can send e-mail again, and I'd contact you in
advance.
You need a username and password.
That's of course why I would contact you first :-)
But according to the information supplied, I should also be able to use
smtp.xs4all.nl as a relay host, see
https://www.xs4all.nl/eigenmailserver/ (in Dutch -- and I already took
care of the Spamhaus delisting).
Question: does this solve the PTR record problem?
I don't think so, but I did not study it really well.
Just to make sure: I guess I need to change my MX record for this to
work?
For sending e-mail, you don't need to change the MX record.
And how does reverse DNS work in this case? Sorry if I ask beginners'
questions, but as I said, I never had to get into these details of mail
servers and anti-spam measures -- up until yesterday, it 'Just Worked'.
You use the DNS & rDNS of the relayhost.
(And unfortunately, switching to freedom.nl as a new ISP has one
drawback wrt. VOIP -- I can only keep one of our current two phone lines.)
Freedom.nl does not have an own VOIP service, the buy it from Voys.
I did make a contract direct there: https://www.voys.nl/
I pay 19 euro a month, but calling in the Netherlands is free.
And I use this for extra phone numbers:
https://www.cheapconnect.nl/voip-nummer-kopen/
Costs is about 9 euro a year for an extra phone number.
I use this for phone calls to other countries:

You can configure the Fritzbox or something like that to do that
automatically, while the other side sees your normal phone number as
caller ID.
With regards,
Paul
