	You'll have to have your NAT/proxy device forward incoming port 
25 connections to your server, and if your provider blocks incoming 
port 25 connections to residential/dynamic IP customers, then you 
will have to find other ways to work around that problem.

	You'll also have to find a way to dynamically update your DNS so 
that every time the external IP address of your NAT/proxy device 
changes, the DNS is changed so that your mailing list will be 
directed to the correct address.

	They probably block all dynamic IP addresses from your provider. 
You're not going to be able to get around this short of using your 
ISP's outbound mail services, or finding a third-party SMTP service 
provider who can give you that service.

	I don't think there's anything you can do on your server that 
will allow you to fix this problem.  You have to change your upstream 
mail routing.
