You could check out <http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/>. I am
not recommending either for or against using such a service, just
pointing it out.

You can use an IP address for testing purposes if you add it to the
VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary as I indicated in my prefious reply., but you
can't actually run a real list in this way.

Note also that even with a domain name as provided by dyndns or
equivalent, many ISPs will not accept mail from such a domain.
