To access your server remotely, you are probably going to use VPN, or an equuvalent of. That needs a fixed IP address, usually supplied as part of a business broadband package, rather than residential. There are ways of getting dynamic IP addys tracked.

MX records are usually maintained by an ISP. Basically they are the identity codes that decide where email will be sent to. For many email addys such as joeblogs @ isp.com the email is held at the ISPs server for the user to connect into. When you are runing your own email server, the MX records basically tell the world where the server is located so the ISP can forward the whole lot to the server. It is usually something that links to a domain name.
