In the past I used http://www.autistici.org/en/services/mail.html
But really, it is not very difficult to just register a domain and run your own
Postfix/Dovecot setup, and doable even on residential dynamic IPs (with low
TTL on MX records).
Sending from a dynamic IP is more complicated due to everyone's spam-filtering;
but you can send via your ISP's SMTP server (chances are they do provide one),
or via some free webmail service's SMTP, or via the above-mentioned autistici.
