Thats what I'm doing currently. (Except I'm using Exim) the issue is that
certainly 1and1 limit you to 1 email every 10 seconds (which is not really
very many for a peak load). I've seen similar limits from most other ISPs

Trying to get your reverse DNS to match is a pain, Would using a shared
hosting supplier fix this issue?

My reading is that part of the problem is the need for SPF records.....
