The Internet email RFCs do not require MX records. They specify
that the MTA must deliver by A records when MX records don't exist.

I dont know if its convincing to send mails to a host where no smtp
is running(hence no MX record) but is there anyway at all in Postfix
to check for MX record before the qmgr accepts the mail?
Just because there is no MX record pointing to host X does not mean
this host is not listening for SMTP connections. See postconf(5) for
MX-related checks supported by Postfix.
