I probably wouldn't increase points because of mail routing through a certain host that you control (technically).
Spammers tend to pound the system with the lowest priority in the DNS record, as it is going to have the lowest amount of work going on. I've seen people adding a third MX record to their DNS, adding the A record for it, but not actually having system there. Spammers attempt to send to the third host, make no connection, and then move on.
