Does Linode give you an SMTP server, external to your Linode VM server,
that you can use? Do you have another ISP? Do you have Gmail?

What I do when for whatever reason I can't get my trip notebook to send
as my normal address, is I use a different SMTP and in the comment I
put "Steve Litt from Troubleshooters.Com".

Is it ideal? No. Is it consumately professional? No. Is it better than
not being able to send email at all? You bet!

I hope you get your home mail server fixed before you leave, but if I
were you, I'd first make sure you can send through gmail or some other
facility, just in case.
