I missed your first post, so I don't know the exact problem you had.

This should not be a problem.  I have the same situation, but my
domain, is hosted by Hurricane Electric (www.he.net).
I use fetchmail to get my domain's mail when I start my machine in
the morning.  I no longer leave it on 24/7 because I am in
California, and we all know what is happening there with a couple of
the utilitiy companies.  I also use the DNS services provided by
EasyDNS and I server as my own primary MX when I am online.  My
machine's hostname is not in the DNS but I do have a valid FQDN
pointing to my DSL interface.
