Running your own mail server from home is great, but when you are on the road you have to switch to whatever ISP you are using. The trouble is that several large ISPs are testing systems which would block mail from servers which aren't authorized to send mail for a given domain.

However, if you enable SASL (for authentication) and TLS (for encryption), you can safely use your mail server from anywhere. I have written a tutorial for setting up Postfix with SASL and TLS on panther (although I assume that you already have server certificates and know how to set up Postfix in general).
