Get a free domain name at http://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/ and
use the domain name in all your config files.


and do not forget to install a client on your machine, so your dynamique ip-adress gets updatet in dyndns' databases
if if changes. So will not have to do anything more if your hostname/ip-adress changes. But also do not forget to set
the appropiate hostname you indicated to dyndns.org in your conf-files for sendmail and others.
