It's a bad idea to use a host without a static IP address or even one that is
not online 24*7 as a mail host! Yes, it does work, but only because you're
abusing other peoples resources. While you are offline or while your new IP
address is propagated through the net, my mail server is buffering mails for
you and trying to establish a connection all 5 minutes or so. This ties up
harddisk space and network bandwith.
I would suggest using uucp together with a mail host that is 100% online. Uucp
is designed as a store and forward transport service, which makes it ideal for
systems not connected all the time or for hosts without a static IP address.
