Exchange and DNS Routing to NO-IP

[stescotty]

Greetings all;

I have a quick question.

I have a Server 2000 with exchange 2000 on it.
I can send out e-mails. My website is working and so is my FTP. I have a dynamic IP and using NO-IP for redirection.

I have installed servers with exchange using Static IP but I have never tried with a Dynamic.

According to what I have read..NO-IP will direct my mail to my IP with their MX records. Here is where I get a little confused. I go to the people who are hosting my domain and I want to manage it so that my mail is directed to the NO-IP MX record. However I don't know what to put as a MX record for people hosting my domain. If I attempted to mx record for mydomain.no-ip.com it will not allow me save it as that dns record.......

AM I MISSING SOMETHING...THanks in advance

I may be wrong her, but no all dynamic IP services offer the MX part.
Some do, and some don't. Also, most that I know of, you need to pay for that extra, not much, but the free service does not provide the port 25 forwards.
There are other like dyns , dns2go etc..
Check out their policies.
