Running a mail server on a dynamic IP (using zoneedit) will cause bounces.   I 
know since I've done it.  ;-)

Not lots of bounces, but mail sent around the time of the IP reset will 
frequently bounce.  When I was running my own mail server and had a dynamic 
IP, every now and then (perhaps only once a week) I would get messages from 
several mailling lists saying that list messages to me had been bouncing.  I 
got a static IP, and the problem went away.

OTOH, for a webserver only, a dynamic IP is just fine.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
