if you have a A-record for "example.com" and you incoming
mail-server is on this IP you do not need any MX record
and postfix will happily use the A-record to deliver mail

another story is if there is a MX-Record but the listed
hostname does not resolve and at least for me the intention
of "if the MX does not exist" is not clear enough if it means

a) no MX record for the domain
b) a MX record with a non-resloving hostname

reject b) would be fine
reject a) would be stupid
