MX record? Recorded in the domain name servers? When the sender is a
bot with an ephemeral MTA/MUA?

Hmm. Yeah, it can be done. Patient and careful use of free dynamic DNS

Be careful when you see conspiracy.
Look first in your own heart,
and ask yourself if you are not your own worst enemy.
Arm yourself with knowledge of yourself.
