if you plan on sending mail to the outside world and haveing them being able to respond back then yes you need a valid realworld ip. a hostname helps.
Internic and 100 other companys can do this for you. OR you can call your service provider and let them know what you are doing and they will be able to get you going.
Hardware: depends on what kind of a scale your looking at. it doesnt take a beast of a machine to do mail and mail only. any box you can pick up off the net will just about do. so long has it has a fair amount of ram/ hd space/ nic card.

mlmmj-send(1) General Commands Manual mlmmj-send(1)
NAME
mlmmj-send - send mail to a mailinglist or similar
SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-send [-L /path/to/list | -l listctrl] -m /path/to/mail [-a] [-D] [-F] [-h] [-r] [-R] [-s] [-T] [-V]
-a: Don't archive the mail

DESCRIPTION
This binary is used to send all kinds of mail to mlmmj managed mailinglists, but can potentially be used standalone for sending mails.
The only option that is not self explanatory is the -l list control option:
'1' means 'send a single mail'
This is used together with -F and -T to send one mail to one recipient.
'2' means 'mail to moderators'
Used for sending mails to the moderators of a list.
'3' means 'resend failed list mail'
'4' means 'send to file with recipients'
'5' means 'bounceprobe'
'6' means 'single listmail to single recipient'
BUGS
This manual page is very scarce documentation of the mlmmj-send binary. The reason for this is that it's really not supposed to be used by
any human, but only supposed to be invoked from other mlmmj binaries. So in case more documentation is needed, please read the source.
