Since we have only an ADSL line on site office if
there any way I could
forward the mails for these staff members
to another Mail Server with
dynamic IP address?
The problem
using things like dyndns and forwarding to a dynamic ip is
that
there is a possibility that when your ip has changed mail would be
attempted to be delivered to the next user that gets your previous
ip.
Even with v. low dns timeouts there is still that
risk.
Better to get a static ip,
or failing that use a pull system
like
fetchmail.

Btw.: When considering fetchmail, also take a look at getmail.
Your best best is to use qmailrocks installation it works great and
includes smtp routes. Use your isp's smtp server to relay everything. I
am using it on this server to send you this. There is even a way to set it
up with smtpauth
Also I don't have a problem with a dynamic ip since I have a client
installed there is a couple of places that seem to do a better job then
others. I used dnsexit because it is free so far no complaints.
