On a related issues there were (perhaps long ago) issues if the A record

10-15 years) actually seen this occur.

Note that *delivery* will only happen if that A record were actually listening on tcp/25 and accepting SMTP connections. No-one should be opening up the SMTP port on a server meant to serve only HTTP(S) traffic. Anyone who does that deserves what they get for making such poor decisions.
