(well, ok, technically my mailserver is a anti-spam box, which then
relays the mail to my sever)
Completely different then.
but I did at one point have my home mail server be the direct mail
server while running dyndns's free service...
And I'm sure you missed a lot of mail that way.
I'm not aware I ever missed any mail when I had my host set up as the
primary DNS.
I've never sent direct to MX, I've always used my ISP as a relay
host. - Ok, I can't say NEVER. I did for a while when my ISP made
some changes and I was having problems. And then, I did see some
e-mails bounce since I was on a dynamic IP.
But really? A ISP would not send mail just because my mx is named
something.dyndns.org?
