Speaking from hard won experience: no! Getting any mission critical service
to run consistently and reliably off a dynamic IP address is difficult.
In theory it's possible, but in practice, you are pretty much wasting your
time.

Hi,
I think you just configure the smpt element like this:
<gateway>''your.service.provider.gateway''</gateway>
<gatewayPort>25</gatewayPort>
-->
<!-- If the gateway requires smtp authentication the following directives -->
<!-- (gatewayusername/gatewayPassword) can be used. -->
<!--
<gatewayusername>your_account_user_name</gatewayusername>
<gatewayPassword>your_account_password</gatewayPassword>
Now James sends all your mail through this gateway, and it appears as if the mail is coming from a static ip. If you try to send it directly, you will most likely get a lot of bounces, because dynamic ip addresses are often used for spamming.
