You'll be fine with DNS/WEB/FTP etc servers. But for the mail you will have to relay through either the Virgin SMTP server or a third party outgoing email server.

Spot on, if any receiving mail server subscribes to a DUL such as the SORBS version, they will see that the IP address for the mail server trying to connect to theirs does not match that of the official MX record for that dynamic range, will therefore refuse connection, usually with the appropriate error sent back.
Its a minor point though considerig what the O/P wants to do with that set up.
