run exim-config <snip> > >(Of course running a mail server requires a static IP...) A dynamic ip address works just fine if you only want to send mail during a trip (as apparently Kris want to do), although a few sites block mail from such addresses. To receive mail, you need a permanent host name, the IP address can still change from time to time. See http://www.no-ip.com/ and others like it.
