I post to this newsgroup using a DHCP address assigned by my ISP.  My
SMTP server connects directly to the Gentoo mailing list server.  The
filtering for this mailing list is done entirely on the email address
in the From: header, and IP address is ignored.

However, I do get connection refusals from some other SMTP servers.
Since I am a cheapskate, I simply re-route such messages through my
ISP's SMTP server; it adds up to an hour to the turn-around time, but
it is free.  I simply put the email address or domain name
into /etc/postfix/transport and run:
   postmap transport
   postfix reload
