Because it's looking at a list of dynamically assigned networks. Lack
of MX is not proof that there isn't supposed to be a mail server
there, just means that the mail exchanger for that host isn't that
host.
Having something like
ursine.dyndns.org. IN A 12.225.10.14
ursine.dyndns.org. IN MX ursine.dyndns.org
is being uselessly redundant and costs sites sending to you an extra
DNS lookup that they shouldn't have to do. Why bother adding an MX if
you don't have to?
