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.
