IMail is handling this the same way it used to. If the MX record isn't set
up properly, you can add the entry to your HOSTS file and then E-mail their
postmaster@ account to let them know what needs to be fixed. That's about
the best you can do, when domains do illegal things like using IPs instead
of hostnames, or having CNAMEs in MX records, or having their primary
mailserver always respond with a "Shutting down -- please try again"
(assuming incorrectly that you'll try their backup server).
