Questionemail server Pin

Is it possible to have an email server without at least one MX record?

I used to check if the username was associated with an email account but decided that it was leaving an opening for a malicious person to write a robot to use this check to get the clients IP address listed as a spammer so I dropped that check and am writing a new one which uses the DNS records only.

The reason I ask about MX records is because I am writing an email verification routine which first verifies the format of an email address with a regular expression and then parses out the domain name.

I then do a nslookup for the mail exchange (type = mx) records associated with that domain name. If there are mx records associated with the domain I check to see if there is an address record (type = a) for at least one of those mail exchange servers.

It is not perfect but it at least filters out the obvious fake email addresses.

I just want to make sure that there needs to be at least one mail exchange (type = mx) record that resolves to a valid address record (type = a) in order to be an email server.

Does anyone know of any exceptions to that rule?
