The problem is that there IS NO MX record. There is an invalid MX record,
but it does not point to a valid server host name. It looks like it might
be an IP address, which isn't valid in an MX record.

That's because it never has a chance to deliver it. It's kind of like what
the postal service does if you send a letter addressed to "My brother's
house" or "Santa Claus". It just can't be delivered accurately.
