At least the A record issue and some other DNS issues are definitely corrected in 7.1x. I have experimented with this using both 7.1 and pre 7.1. One problem in addition to the A record issue was when no A records or MX records existed for a domain but the domain still had DNS records. One that really annoyed me was home.com. However, I've tested messages to home.com now on both 7.1 and 7.07. Messages to home.com via 7.07 would remain in the Queue for the total number of tries. At first I thought it was perhaps because home.com had an A record - and they for a while. But finally the A record was removed from DNS and messages to home.com would still remain in the spool. I have seen other domains with DNS records but neither A nor MX records behave the same way in 7.07. However in 7.1 messages to home.com (and others with no MX or A records) immediately fail which is a welcome relief.
