The absence of MX records in HPollo's sendmail not only is a major
nuisance, but actually ignores two RFCs:
RFC1123 MAIL -- SMTP & RFC-822 October 1989
sending strategy discussed in Section 5.3.1.
5.3.5 Domain Name Support
SMTP implementations MUST use the mechanism defined in Section
6.1 for mapping between domain names and IP addresses. This
means that every Internet SMTP MUST include support for the
Internet DNS.
! In particular, a sender-SMTP MUST support the MX record scheme
! [SMTP:3]. See also Section 7.4 of [DNS:2] for information on
! domain name support for SMTP.
