Take a look at: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Amahi_Mail_System

If you have a public domain name, point an MX record at ashi.yourhda.com (or whatever you named your system). I have to add this little tidbit to the wiki...
3.Today i can access my computer from the web using dynamic DNS. Could i access the Amahi server from the internet? Dose this connection will depend on passing the VPN ?
This is an all depends question. Does your AMahi server have a public iP or can you map it through your NAT box? Then you need a public URL that matches what you call the system internally. Then you have to realize that you might have opened your system up to serious attack. Amahi has a single mySQL password, and if you have things like phpmyadmin installed you can be toast rather quickly if you have not added extra protection on your server.
5.Can i set a PPTP vpn server on the Amahi server?
How good are you at configuring the PPTP Linux server? I for one dislike PPTP, but then I co-chaired IPsec long ago.
