RE: Yow, Madduck!
The only problem with that is that people start
using "myhost.dynamic-dns-provider.com" as their
domain name for email. That's not bad in and of
itself, except when they're on a dialup modem
link and {dis|re}connect often. The DNS RR's
get updated often, mail servers cache them, and
try to connect to the wrong IP. Mail gets queued
and backed up, etc. etc.
The smart host is definitely the way to go.

that would be the proper way of doing it. or to get a dynamic host
