I dont know if you want to find a solution of if you want to say why i am 
searching one.
Reason is this :
I have SPF_PASS, a variable that tell me that who send is proprietary of that 
domain
I KNOW PERFECTLY THAT SOMEONE CAN TELL SPAM WITH A PURCHASED REGULAR NON 
SPOOFED DOMAIN
But I can combine SPF_PASS with a list of email address, for example, but not 
all put SPF in dns, so with MX I have another chance

In fact SPF or DKIM does not tell us anything about spammy (or hammy) ness. 
Spammers use spf and dkim too. The usefulness of DKIM and SPF is in combination 
with *specific* domains.

So your mx check would also be only useful in combination with *specific* 
domains. And when you are doing specfic domains then you could just do 
whitelist_from_rcvd.

So I am not sure what your intention is with this MX check. Would you score 
senders who fail it? Or would you blindly reward (whitelist) servers who match 
the MX subnet?
