They will have to configure their sendmail to receive and queue your mail. Also, it is considered polite to retrieve your mail on a regular basis. I personally use fetchmail. I have the domain of ki5zw.ampr.org. My ISP has agreed to queue mail for me. My mx record for the ampr.org dns is configured at ucsd.edu. They are the primary for this domain. I have been doing this for years. It works great.

Yi.org doesn't seem to offer a priority field. Also, would I just enter my ISP email address in that field?
