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
