Get a dyndns.com name for your router public ip address and set up at

Of course, if your IP changes, then mail is going to get screwed up

address, instead of the old one.

Dyndns, and other such things, are useful for giving yourself a hostname

if you have a dynamic IP. Private webserving's easy enough with a
varying IP, mail serving's another matter.
