I use DynDNS myself, thanks. :) The problem is that people sending mail
to your domain have to do a DNS lookup to get your mail server's IP
address. Whether this lookup returns your current address is out of your
control and the more often your address is changed, the more likely it
is that a sender doesn't get the most current one.
But if it's just a practice setup, the risk is probably ok. I just
wouldn't use this setup for my regular mail address.
