If you want to run your own mailserver, you will need to know the in's and out's of email systems + dns. email systems are not hard, but dns is hairy at first, before you really understand how it all works.
I can help guide you in setting up DNS + mailserver under linux if you want.
Then you can have as many addresses as you want.
What you need to run your own mailserver:
1) A static IP address (you have it)
2) A linux box to host DNS+mailserver
3) A registered domain name.
4) A secondary DNS server. Your ISP can ussually become your secondary DNS server, at fairly low cost.
But I could be completely off track here (I may have misunderstood your comment)
About my ADSL:
1) No static IP. While the plan I have does not have an option for a static IP, I am pretty sure I could convince my ISP to give me one for a price. But I don't think I will bother.
2) I use my ISP's mail servers. We also get 2 extra mailboxes. We didn't have to change our email address because we didn't change ISP's when moving to ADSL.
