I'd recommend DynDNS. They offer secondary MX and primary MX (aka  
MailHop, which can relay to any port at any IP.) Rates are low, less  
than a round of beers at the bar for an annual service plan.

However realize that SMTP mail sent through real MTAs will queue so  
technically this is unnecessary.
