Well, first, my firm's commercial Raptor anti-pam solution supports
smarthosting for outbound and inbound on an alternate port.  Add any
dynamic DNS solution and you are good to go.  Plus you get the best
business anti-spam solution.  Happy to chat more about pricing. 

But that leads to my answer.  You can just setup a box on a VM with a
static IP and do smtp authentication for smarthosting through that box
and use it as a relay for your domain on an alternate port using Dynamic
DNS.  No need for fetchmail or anything like that.

KAM
