Some flavor of VPN account where you can keep a nice static IP address for your mail server with proper forward and reverse DNS. Business class account with your ISP. Some other 3rd party mail provider. Warning... even if you secure your email, the idiots on the other end won't. I deal with lawyers that still insist on POP3 in the clear for their crack berry to retrieve email. I deal with lawyers and accountants that think a boilerplate disclaimer will prevent someone from forwarding on a mis-directed email.
