I also have RR service and have had the same problem. They way I get around it is to forward the outbound mail for domains that check the dynamic IP lists through smtp-server.mn.rr.com. You could also forward all your mail through that address, but I prefer to send most of it from my server directly. I use Exim so I can't tell you how to configure Courier to do this.
