First you need a static IP from your ISP. Do you have that??? What is your
connection type? Dialup? ISDN? DSL? You'll need more than a mere dialup
connection for this.

It is your mail (SMTP) Server (and _not_ 'client')
If your ISP delays mail deliveries then you should find out why that
happens from the Systems Administrator.

Get the results of the above conditions then come back to the list. You'll
get more help, I believe.
Like Patrick von der Hagen said, you _really_ don't want to make that
