Well, if you've got proper forward and reverse DNS, and your portable 
SMTP server identifies itself properly, and you are using networks that 
don't filter outbound port 25, AND you have DKIM configured correctly 
and aren't using it for a situation for which it is inappropriate, then 
you'll get the same results with a portable SMTP server that you would 
sending through a properly configured static server.

Not really.  Large mail system like Gmail and Yahoo have a pretty good
map of the IPv4 address space.  If you're sending from a residential
DSL or cable modem range, they'll likely reject any mail you send
directly no matter what you do.

R's,
