heh, heh... thanks, but I actually like the VPS idea better, as I was 
thinking about getting a cheap one to play around with anyway. Even the 
cheapest one comes with a static IP, so I could just receive the mail 
there and forward it on to my personal server, or something like that.

As a point of curiosity: with your suggestion, do you rewrite the sender 
field, or do you send and receive e-mails with different addresses? It 
seems like a few years ago I remember trying to use a server belonging 
to one domain to send mail from another domain, and some of the mail was 
bounced back because the receiving servers detected that the domain in 
the sender field did not match that of the sending server.

@Bruce: Thanks also for the offer, but I think I'll try out a VPS solution.
