Actually this is only true when your ip is a static one that
you can list as provider ip.
A lot of blacklists put all the cable and dsl enduser ip's
somewhere under "dynamic or domestic use"
A lot of mailservers will block this.

Sorry for being totally unrelated to asterisk, but this has
been a big issue for several of my clients asterisk boxes.

When it's internal this should work. Otherwise, see my point
above
