If a host is also it's own MX, having the MX is not necissary (if it
was, I shouldn't have been able to recieve email for the last six
years). You also should *NOT* be pointing MX entries at random hosts,
even your ISP. You need to make arrangements with someone running a
mail server before pointing an MX at them.
