Another idea is to really use a real hostname that resolves. You may want
to use a dynamic DNS service; I have used dyndns.org successfully.

I may be misunderstanding something, but what is the problem with using
the hostname for the IP as assigned when dialing up. No one would ever see
it, unless they read your headers.

I am curious: can you share an example of the bounce/error messages you
receive?
