I would assume this is simply a DNS issue you are having since it
references "name resolution".  Every OS is different but if your using a
*NIX flavor you might want to start with /etc/resolv.conf and make sure
the proper DNS servers are specified and your hostname resolves to your
IP.

Another thing to note.   Mail servers SHOULD NOT be run on dynamic IP
addresses!!!  Many ISP/corporation's will submit dynamic IP's for
automatic blocks to various RBL's.  The other draw back you will encounter
is the hostname of your system will never match the IP's DNS as you will
never know at a given moment what IP you are on.
