Beg your pardon? Email as we know it can't work unless this happens.

Yes, I consider both ends of the connection, as you've obviously ignored.
I've never had Linux accepting mail from the internet with its SMTP
server, in all the years that I've used Linux. And only those with
their own domain name and/or fixed IP address could to that, either.
