Mailhop BackupMX. "Make sure you always get your mail, even if your server is offline for extended periods, with our MailHop Backup MX service. We'll queue your mail for up to 10 days, with no limits on how much you receive." $30 a year. (Disclaimer: I work for DynDNS.) Just make sure you use content based spam filtering and not just at the connect string if you use this service. Many spammers will send to the secondary MX first and you'll see the connection come from a trusted source even though the email is spam. (I work in the abuse dept. and see lots of people report their own backup MX server as a spam source because of this...)
