I have a dyndns account at home for that exact reason. I was thinking
about getting my own domain name, but funds are needed elsewhere at the
moment.
These domain names are available
clug.geek.nz
clug.org.nz
clug.net.nz
clug.gen.nz
in fact everything unrestricted seems to be available still.

Reasonable - it would be an excellent MTA-learning opportunity for
someone. The questions that come straight to mind are:
what response time would you expect from the mail server?
same question for bandwidth to the mail server.
Privacy of your email - do you trust the mailserver?
Shell accounts?
Anything else?
Users would be wanting pop3 / imap / webmail access to their mail, and
what else?
