You want to be careful when you modify your DNS records. Are there any mail
servers currently handling mail for this domain, because fairly quickly
after changing the MX record (a pointer to which host is recieving mail for
your domain) mail will be sent to that domain and you mail server better be
ready. If it is a new domain then you have some breathing room.
It sounds like all you have to do for now is use dyndns to add an MX record
for your host; this is presuming that your mail server system is ready to
receive mail for your domain.
