If you wish to receive and send mails directly you need a static ip address and a hostname with matching reverse dns record. Otherwise don't bother.
While having reverse dns is definitely desirable, it's not *required*. I've been doing fine without reverse dns for years.
Then you were lucky, nothing more. (^-°) There are a lot of destinations that will reject mails from servers without matching reverse dns, major provides as well as big companies. Others will flag mails you're sending as spam or even discard it, when you don't have a clean reverse dns record, which is almost as bad. Many unanswered emails have simply disappeared because they were flagged as spam and deleted together with the 300 other genuine spam. There's no technical reason that a static ip or a reverse dns is needed, it is simply needed to pass the spam detection policies. -- Sandy List replies only please!
