The machines aren't in the same networks, and both are behind a router. You forget that on "mum's" side a port has to be forwarded on the router to her own local IP address. This will only work if "mum" gets the same external IP address from her ISP all the time. ( And I do know of situations where customers get a different IP address every other day ).
One can tackle that issue by making the remote mail it's external IP address on a regular basis ( f.e. daily ).
Not so - that's where a service like DynDNS comes into play. The router registers its public IP address with DynDNS each time it boots or each time the public IP address changes.
Remember that in this case those two routers do not have any "public IP address". 10.*.*.* is private address range. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
