There's actually one nice side-benefit I've noticed: some spammers
(unsurprisingly) also violate DNS stuff, and cache the MX record for,
well, a long, long time.  It was kind of amusing to see spam attempts,
addressed correctly, but going to a server that was no longer forwarding
the e-mail -- and this went on for *months*.
