Once upon a time, sendmail would automaticaly fall back to A records when
no MX were present. My (old) O'Reilly Sendmail book indicates that behavior
is not configurable (it should always happen). I don't know when sendmail
stopped behaving that way, because I switched to qmail ( http://www.qmail.org )
several years ago. A quick test here shows that qmail still tries A records
where MX are not available.
