Agreed.  My server is one such.  But currently that IP is not listed
in the dynamic IP list.  So I think it might be something different.
But in any case you should use a static IP address.

Agreed.  The standard solution is to configure to relay through your
ISP's mail server.  You can do this with postfix with the following
command.  Use your ISP's mail relay instead of this command.

  postconf -e relayhost=mail.example.com

And to fix your envelope from problems set your fully qualified domain
name of your host.

  postconf -e myhostname=fqdn.example.com
