If you have a static IP, you can also buy a domain name (I'm personaly glad 
with gandi.net and wouldn't change for anything else).
Then you can host your domain at a DNS provider (xname.org is free and really 
easy to use). All you need to do is to declare an A record with a name 
pointing to your IP address, then add an MX for your domain pointing on the 
name, ie.:

mail.mydomain.tld. IN A    11.22.33.44
mydomain.tld.      IN MX 5 mail.mydomain.tld.

There are tons of docs out there on how to set up a domain.

and last but not least:

11. Profit!
