You can also use everydns (http://www.everydns.net) if you've got the domain already set up. They provide a rather easy and safe way to manage your dns entries and mailservers, and a rather easy to use perl interface to update your IP as well, again, at no cost. One thing you'll need to look at though, if you're going to run the server yourself is the mail system you're using. Sendmail (default with linux) really is limited in what it can do, and complicated to setup if you don't know what you're doing. I'd suggest going with QMail, a much more advanced system, with a few easy to use installers that can make life much easier on you.
