A problem I'm running into with a residential RR connection is that a
lot of mail servers are starting to block direct SMTP from connections
listed as "dial-up", as RR's pseudo-dynamic IP's are.  That means you
have to have relaying set up on some remote server that has a legitimate
reverse-DNS name.
