Running a site on broadband usually ends up being more trouble than it's worth, particularly when mail gets involved (since broadband IPs are known and on blacklists).
I've been handling all my mail using a server on a home DSL line, not using the ISP (Speakeasy)'s mail service for anything, and never seen a confirmed case of mail getting lost due to a blacklist. I wouldn't be surprised it if it has happened occasionally and I've just not noticed yet, but clearly it hasn't been happening a lot.
I run apache and some other stuff too. It's fun, and not that much trouble. I'd definitely recommend doing the same to anyone with an interest.

If I try and directly mail the domain I have hosted with google mail from my cable IP I get:
T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: host ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com [209.85.133.114]: 550-5.7.1 [MY.EASILY.FOUND.IP] The IP you're using to send email is not authorized\n550-5.7.1 to send email directly to our servers. Please use\n550 5.7.1 the SMTP relay at your service provider instead.
