Well, I just occurred to me that one issue I would have would be that I
wouldn't expect be able to point my MX record at my ISP's mail server,
without them charging me something. I mean, it seems to me they have to do
something on their end for it to accept mail for my domain.

Maybe I'll just park the thing for a while, although I don't really want
to do that.
