FYI: I have had very good experience using Centurylink (previously Qwest) for serving email from home. It is only $6/month extra to get a static IP with reverse DNS. In the 10+ years I have used them, the addresses blocks they allocate static IPs from have never shown up on a blacklist. I know that for many people here DSL does not provide sufficient bandwidth to suffice as the primary home internet connection, and $60/month is pricey if you only plan on using the connection for email, especially compared to a VPS. It is much less expensive than paying for a business account with any of the other ISPs, though.
