I understand your problem. dyndns.com is taking care of the forward dynamic DNS for you. Now who is in charge of the reverse DNS for 58.187.106.120 (your current IP)? I beleive it is FPT. So FPT should upgrade its own reverse DNS every time it gives an IP to your server. Right now if I make a reverse DNS lookup on 58.187.106.120 it gets nothing, while it should get thecuong.gotdns.com. The easiest way to solve your email problem would be that your server sends all the email thought FPT mail server. As a rule, it is a bad idea to use a machine with a dynamic address to be an SMTP server: when the IP changes, the DNS cache will take some time to update everywhere, so for some time your email will be sent to the wrong IP: mailiong list may decide that your account is dead and remove you from the list.
