you can not deal with this expect create a error-transport
for such domains manually - but be aware if this domain
get later working mailservices to remove it!

a domain does not need a MX record, that is how it works
and there are many domains with well working mail-services
without

i for myself create always a MX record in by me maintained dns-zones
but technically there is no need as long your a-record does not
point to a webserver while you have mail-services for the
same domain

the side-effect is domains without any mail-address and a a-record
are deferred for 5 days until the message bounces
