Yep, you point the MX to dyndns's MX, as I recall. I'm sure instructions are on their site somewhere.

All ddclient is is a CLI replacement for the dyndns updater utility. I'd go with the updater myself, since this is an OS X system. > I found that DynDNS worked fine for email as long as my IP changed > every few days as opposed to every few hours. Yeah, can't speak to that, never used them for email. If I was going to go with email on a dynamic IP I would probably use Google Apps (either the free 'standard' or the $50/year 'premier) for it. I mean, 25G/account for premier is more space than *I* would want to dedicate to email on my own machine. Heck, even the free 7GB+ is pushing it. And gmail is quite usable, available anywhere, yadda yadda. -- A: You can never go too far.
