If you are serious about running a mail server, you can cover downtime
with a backup for a small fee at No-Ip.com - probably other places too

It's probably worth it

I don't use their services for mail, but notwithstanding I have a
static IP, I still use the service for the nameservers. Free.fr only
give me two, although they do give you reverse DNS, but RFC 2182
recommends Three.

That way I don't need to run BIND or similar and if my system is down,
I don't get tagged for nameservers down/unreachable/etc
