I use dyndns for my free domains.

I don't use secondary MXes because
1. Legitimate senders should queue when I'm down
2. I don't control what mail someone else accepts for me
3. Spammers rely on 2 to inject spam into my system. When I had a 
secondary MX, almost all the mail I got through it was spam.
4. In practice ou can't reject incoming mail your sendondary because, if 
you do, you will contribute to the enormous backwash of bounces to 
innocents.


Before I implemented this, I ran the idea past an antispam list; there 
seemed no cons, and some of the others also didn't have secondaries for 
the above reasons.
