exchange/smarthost/dynamicip/spamhaus PBL

[prophotodx]

Hello All,

I have an Exchange 2000 server setup and hosted on a Comcast Dynamic IP account. I get messages back because my IP is in the Spamhaus (and others I'm sure) PBL. I am not a spammer, just a small business owner. I did research and found out I cannot setup a PTR/Reverse DNS for my IP, so I have a smarthost setup through my dedicated webserver running Plesk 8.2 and Fedora.

Now my question, is there any way to remove my dynamic IP from the email header and only have the dedicated server's ip? Is that the cause of the receiving server rejecting my messages (marking as spam)? Will this throw a flag causing more incorrect spam markers since the headers may be incomplete? Is there any other way around this?

Thanks.
