I would have to answer qmail to both questions:

Back when I was on dial-up, I actually had my-machine.my.isp, and
nobody ever called me up and told me to stop that, which makes sense
if you're on dial-up, since you get a different IP address every time,
and you're not online permanently. You'd have to ask somebody with a
permanent connection to the net, and without their own domain what
they do, but I suspect the answer would be similar to the one I
gave. Hth.
