[stuff] If the dialin user is running an SMTP server (like FreeBSD boxes with sendmail), no additional action is necessary on your part. An MX record pointing back to your host will alow the mail to queue on your end and not get stuck in queues on the sender if the person isn't dialed in. Otherwise, if they're Windows machines, you'll have to add MX records to point all of your hosts at your mailserver and set up a usertable to map the root@kronos -> kronos@splash.ru or whatever you want. The sendmail pages should have details on this. > If I have a domain (e..g splash.nu) and have users dialling up, and > getting a DYNAMIC IP address can I, as they login have their IP added to > the zone file so that the IP they've been assigned get's resolved to > their domain name (e.g. every user has their own hostname, user kronus > would have kronus.splash.nu).

You want Dyanmic DNS, which is still prototypical. You might be able to obtain the necessary bits from ml.org, as they are doing this now.
