You should really have a static public IP address for that. |

Personally, I'm a qmail person, and he "Life with qmail" documentation |
| 13 |
is pretty good: |

The package name for qmail has changed recently under Gentoo, so you |
| 18 |
would emerge netqmail instead of qmail. There are many different mta |
| 19 |
softwares out there. I would suggest trying a few of them, and see which |
| 20 |
one seems to fit your thought process the best. For me it's qmail, but |
| 21 |
you might be more of an exim or postfix or (god forbid) sendmail person. |

Good luck! |
