Running MX's on dynamic > IP's to receive mail would be quite silly. Then perhaps you'd like to tell me how we have tens of thousands of users quite happily doing it? True, I wouldn't run Hotmail/AOL/EarthLink/etc's MXes off dynamic IPs, but for a home/small biz mail server... Oh, and one last thing, when you specify an MX (statically, as you say), you don't put in the IP but rather a name created with A record, so what prevents that A record from being a low-TTL dynamic DNS A record?
