You will still have to have a domain. In order to create MX and A records you will have to have a domain.

What I would do is spend 10$ or 15$ and register a domain. Point that domain to your public static IP.

Use the company you registered with to create your MX and A records to properly point to your static IP and you should be squared away after that.

to throw other options at ya...

do you have a dns server anywhere on your lan? give linuxzimbra an a & mx record

a quick linux dns would be BIND

so your hosts file might look like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
x.x.x.x linuxzimbra.local linuxzimbra
