All of it. Get a static ip or subscribe to a service at dydns.com or no-ip.com and setup your own mail to your own computer.
But please note -- if you have a dynamic IP address, many many recipients will block email that is sent from there. It is a valid precaution against spam, nowadays.
Therefore you probably need an ISP that allows to send outbound email with arbitrary sender address. (Not all of them do without payment.)
I'm using my domain as a mail forwarding service, much as you use acm.org - in fact I used to use an acm.org address. Using my own domain gives me as many email addresses as I want. My ISP allows me to send mail with a From stating my own domain, which is good enough for me. The route shows that the message comes from one of my ISP's IP addresses, of course. I'm only concerned about getting inbound mail to my domain forwarded to my ISP's system, or directly to my system. Does anybody know of any good companies that provide this service?
