Hi,
If you only need an SMTP server and you use a linux laptop; you can use
sendmail. You will not need to be worry about IPs, you only will need to
install sendmail, altought most of times it is already installed, and use
your local smtp server (sendmail).
Actually, the default installation works just fine in big distributions like
SuSE.
Best,
Polo
