Topic: MX record with IP address
Is there no way to create an MX record with a static IP address that is different than the Dynamic IP that I am using for everything else?
My situation is that I have both a high speed dynamic internet service that is being used for several websites, and a DSL with a static IP that I use for my personal mail server. I need to create a MX record that will point to the static IP (since mail on dynamic IPs does not work out well).

Note: The issue with ISP provided static IP is that the reverse DNS still does not reflect the domain name for which email is hosted. You can try to contact your ISP and see if they can update the reverse DNS for the IP address provided to you with your domain name and that can be quite helpful. You can also setup SPF record as well as DKIM to make the emails more legitimate.
