While having reverse dns is definitely desirable, it's not *required*. I've been doing fine without reverse dns for years.
Static ip, if you can get it, is a very good thing though. Makes everything simpler.

There is of course the alternative of using Dynamic DNS with DynDNS (www.dyndns.com) (some of their additional mail services might be of use here). There are some organisations that offer authenticated mail relay services as well so if you are having issues with your ISPs relay you can relay through these.
Yea, I helped a friend set up a server using a Dynamic DNS from DynDNS, they allow you to set up the MX needed flags for your domain to run mail through. The problem is with the free accounts you only get a sub-domain which I would think would look ugly when dealing with email.
