Where to begin??
First, any email system must know how to find a computer named "somethingstrange-computer.local". Since this isn't an official DNS name, it might be a little confused. If the UNIX computer you are using is named "somethingstrange-computer.local" and you send it to this address, it generally has no problem figuring out that you simply want to send it to the local user "myname". However, another computer won't know how to contact this computer. So you can try emailing to your computer's fixed IP address, if it has one: myname@10.1.1.2 or if not, get a service called "dynamic DNS" so that your computer's IP address is always associated with a domain name, and simply mail to
myname@dynamic-dns-service.net (for instance).
Note: it might still not be that easy; your UNIX computer might have a built in firewall or the email "service" might not be configured to receive external emails.
