Uh, no. I have seen spammers use dynamic DNS to use throw away dial-ups accounts for incoming main service.
Well, that's nice... until their dynamic DNS gets promptly killed (if they got it from us or someone responsible - I can't speak for everyone in this industry), at which point they're back at square one with all their email gone. A lot of people seem to think that dynamic DNS services are a way to cover up abuse (eg: spam, warez, etc); they're not, as a decent amount of spammers have found out the hard way.
