You can.  As you are one broadband (IIRC) then all you need to do is 
buy yourself a domain and configure exim (or sendmail or ...) for that
domain - it's not that difficult.  Then you can create as main mail names
as you want.

Note to self: must set up the dev.slash.null at uthink.co.uk mail account :-)
