No. Nobody will find your system. DNS provides name to IP
resolution, so I type a name and the system looks for that IP. To get
my system to understand your DNS names though, you have to register
the domain which provides a public record of where your DNS is, so my
system will use it to make the name conversion.

You can do that, but not without registering a domain or the end user
knowing the IP address.

You have two options. Use the IP, or register the domain and use a
name.
>2- can i receive email through ASP
No. Email is always passed through SMTP. You can use ASP to access
an SMTP client for both sending and receiving, but you need an SMTP
server to send or receive mail. You need a POP server to use a POP
client such as Outlook Express.

That's exactly what the world is waiting for...
