Do you do this by dial-up to an ISP?  If so, you could just use the
ISP's server.  Another approach would be to configure your home machine
for dial-up and connect to it directly.

I seem to recall once hearing of an SMTP variant that used user
authentication before accepting mail.   That would also be a safe way to
go.  Unfortunately, I don't know any more about it than this.  Anyone
else?
