Welcome to LQ
You can create a script to get the IP and send the mail

Code:

lynx -dump http://www.formyip.com/ | awk '/IP is/{print $NF}'| mail -s "Your IP" exp-123@yahoo.com

Then you can create a cronjob to run the script every x minutes
Another option is to use dyndns

FYI, don't put your email in your post, a spambot will pick it up sooner or later.
