OK, this thread has meandered quite a bit.  The OP, Paul, wanted to know
what they could do with a BellSouth "static" IP.  You, Jeremy, said "not
a whole lot".  I disagreed and posted what was possible.  Then you
injected what you were doing outside of a BellSouth IP.  Granted I
didn't address all my responses to Paul, but the focus of my points were
what could be done successfully from a BellSouth IP.  Your (Jeremy)
points about external systems not withstanding, the same semantics do
apply when one is interested in repeated successful delivery of email to
more than a handful of self-controlled systems.
