I use postfix. I have evolution set to pihlopase.mine.nu for smtp and
pop3. Works fine. I have Bellsouth DSL with a dynamic IP address and I
use dyndns to run apache, mail server, ftp server, telnet, etc.. Here is
my postfix config file. 


# see /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, fuller
# version of this file.

# Do not change these directory settings - they are critical to Postfix
# operation.
command_directory = /usr/sbin

daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
program_directory = /usr/lib/postfix

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
setgid_group = postdrop
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
mydomain = bellsouth.net 
myorigin = $mydomain
append_dot_mydomain = no
myhostname = pihlopase.mine.nu
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
#myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = pihlopase.mine.nu, pihlopase, localhost
relayhost = mail.bellsouth.net
mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/20
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
default_privs = nobody
