Praedor, There are a number of services that offer dynamic IP DNS (dydns.org is one) with software available at freshmeat.net that autoupdates the dns for you. I don't use one of them because I have a dns server I control and so far I haven't had to much changing so updating my own dns is viable. When it has changed though I've had gaps of 8-14hrs of no e-mail. It then all comes through at once. so for me dynamic ip's and an e-mail server is working.
