obviosly sendmail is not postfix, is it? Or does sendmail have a config
on /etc/postfix/main.cf?

Broadband consumer connections are 'dial-up'.
That is why it was it blocked by spamhaus policy.

obviously not to send email directly which is what you were trying to
do. When having such an ip no mx server will accept messages from you
directly. That is why you need to relay to your e-mail provider.
The fact that you state you use dyndns proves do not understand how smtp
servers work. No mx server will talk to your dyndns mta directly
*except* your isp's mta.
