Exchange with Dynamic Dns

[rebel4k]

I am quite new to Exchange and would like to set up an Exchange 2007 email server that is capable of both sending and receiving external email. The problem is I do not have a static IP address. I currently have a website running and use Dynamic DNS so users can connect using a hostname. Is it possible for me use Dynamic DNS to set up an Exchange Server and if so how would I go about doing it. As I said earlier I am a complete novice so any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

It's certainly POSSIBLE, but it's also very LIKELY that many receiving servers won't accept mail because you're on a dynamic address.

If you do decide to do this, make sure you configure a Smart Host, such as one provided by your ISP. This will resolve the dynamic issue, but does make troubleshooting a little more difficult.
