You can get SMTP with a dynamic IP address, by using the ODMR (On Demand Mail
Relay) variant. I retrieve mail for a few domains using fetchmail from
Gradwell.com, whom I can recommend as DNS hosts.
Actually, I have a static IP but there are also some other benefits for me
such as not needing port 25 open, and (with Gradwell's service) being able to
access the spool via webmail. Functionally, it's quite like POP3 but retains
the envelope information.
Cheers,
