Poppycock. There are various ways, but they require work to set up. If
someone doesn't want to put forward the effort, they shouldn't be running a
mail server.

Check out, for example, dnsalias.net. They have various clients that can
grab address information from NAT boxes and keep a domain name pointed at
the proper IP, automatically.
