Igor,

In my experience, even systems using DHCP will keep giving a given MAC 
the same DHCP address when the host's lease is renewed.

If not, my scripts for adapting to changing IP / DNS on dial-in lines 
(posted earlier and available again, if desired) would handle 
configuring SSMTP in the rare case that the IP and DNS change.
