Yes.But not for all ISPs. Usually only the cheap/rubbish ones - like BT, AOL, TalTalk, etc.
The biggest issues you'll get is that a lot of spam-checkers now have complete lists of all home DSL IP addresses and weigh email coming directly from them quite heavilly.. Also, you might not have reverse DNS - something else that a lot of spam checkers don't like.
So if you want to run an email server at home/office, do get a good quality ISP and make sure you get reverse DNS setup for it.
