Eircom says I need a static IPbecause their dynamic IPs are blacklisted

    For the last couple of days the email I send via my Blacknight hosted domain has been bouncing. After passing the blame off on Blacknight as strongly as they could Eircom (my ISP) finally admitted it was because the dynamic IPs I was getting (several different ones after restarting the router) were all blacklisted. They went on to say that the only way I could be assured of getting my email through was to buy a static IP.

    Now, I've been with Eircom and Blacknight for years and never had this problem until a few days ago. And then it happens me repeatedly for several different IP addresses so.... forgive me if I'm scratching my head.

    What do people think? Has anyone else been forced to buy a static IP for the same reason?

    Sorry, I realize I posted this twice by mistake but now can't see how the hell to delete the duplicate :-(
