Just use an SMTP relay server.  If you have a dynamic IP address, you 
need someone to do DNS for you.  I recommend http://www.dynaccess.com/
(or http://www.dynaccess.de/ ); for less than EUR 100 per year you have 
good DNS service, MANY other things and an SMTP relay server.  Works 
fine without SMTP-authentication, since the authentication is done based 
on your IP address (which the DNS provider of course knows).
