Can you make a static MX record for your hostname and point it to the web hosting company's mail servers? Once that is done, tell them to receive mail for tomii.dnsalias.com and tell them what accounts you need created. I would think that you could continue to have the same dynamic name for your home file server, but if the e-mail is the most important, get a new dyndns name for home, and have the web hosting company handle the old one.
