DynDns maybe? You can create an MX entry for your domain, and if you can forward all mail from an "other" (like gmail) account, you only need to set up your mailserver to recieve mail. If you don't want to send mail directly, you can use the "other" account as a smarthost. The great advantage is that you can get a full-featured mail server without a static IP; the disadvantage is that when your IP changes, there's a chance that mail is being forwarded to the old IP address where it could eventually be recieved by someone else (But how likely is that?). When your server is offline (like when you're on vacation), cancel the forwarding for the time and pick up the mail from the "other" account later. I've been using that for more than a year, and now I'm doing it that way again, and I've never had a problem with it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
