Please don't start blocking mail coming from servers that aren't MX's. We,
along with many other large sites, treat incoming and outgoing mail as
different services and run them on different servers. Obviously my outgoing
relays don't have MX records as they do not listen for mail from outside
our site, that's the job of the incoming mail servers.
