That is correct. Speaking from the standpoint of an ISP, we provide static
IPs to those that request them for doing things like this. Still, other
than how to avoid being an open relay, we do not offer much support (as in,
how they should configure their (mail|web|other) server. We also don't
offer a lot of sympathy to the ones who become open relays or get themselves
blacklisted because they wanted to send spam and found our SMTP servers
not-very-conducive to that.
