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

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

  http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html

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

Good luck!
