I understand that but it's the lesser of two evils. If you use
post.demon.co.uk instead of the IP address then Exchange can only resolve
the address  when the Demon link is established and uses your DNS
facilities. I would have to manually initiate the RAS connection and then
start the Internet Mail Service everytime the server is restarted.
Otherwise the IMS would not start stating it could not resolve the name. If
there is a better solution than the one I use I would love to hear about
it.
