That's silly.  It's ridiculously easy to install MX records into your
pointing to a machine which can handle mail.  Then, once you've done
that, it's a little bit harder to teach that machine which hosts it
handles mail for.  But once you figure out how to do that with sendmail
(it's rather *easy* with MMDF) you're in business.  Mail to portia.stanford.edu
will end up on a mail-serving machine.
