There is another thing you have to consider. As it is explained in
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?p=265093#post265093
your dynamic IP has been black listed (the IP was used before by
someone else who sent SPAM, so now the IP is in a list of bad guys and
many mail server will refuse to receive emails from your IP).

So it is really a better idea that you sent all your email thought FPT
email server.

Best regards,

OK I understood, this is one lession I learned today: In order to run "real" mail server,
fixed IP address for forward and reverse DNS is must-have.
I will choose method of relaying through ISP though I prefer the first one.
Tnx you very much.
