I use one of those, too - the hopto.org one, but in no way do I consider
that I "own" it. no-ip owns the domain, and just allows me to add a
subdomain to it for forwarding packets to my dynamic IP address, so long
as I confirm that I still want to continue to use it at least every 30
days.

The no-ip subdomain is what I pointed my mx record to, so that the no-ip
client I compiled on my server keeps my IP address updated, so that any
email that gets sent to anybody at thefletchers.net gets fired at my
router, which then port forwards it to the server in my LAN. postfix
then uses my aliases table to sort email into the correct inbox, and we
get our email.
