Right.  Here you're not running into a dynamic DNS issue (xxx.my.domain
isn't involved) but into other policy questions (eg RBLs that block
dynamic IPs; SPF policies).  Pretty much sending email from a dynamic IP
is going to be problematic at best.  (Even worse when ISPs like Verizon
and Comcast block outgoing port 25).

For outgoing email you either have to go through your ISP's relay or run
your own relay (I have a linode for this, and have my home machines send
via my linode, to take dynamic IPs out of the equation).
