In general, an MX record is not necessary if you have an A record. That's probably not your problem here.

Since the beginning of time. You do not *need* an MX record, but if one exists you *must* honor it.
To clarify my original message about this, if you do already have an MX record for domain.com, then you would also need another one for lists.domain.com if you want list mail to go to a separate smtp server. If you don't have any MX records set up at all, you would be ok with just A records. It is still always advisable to use MX records of course, especially if you want to have redundant MX record entries (one of those good ideas!).
That goes along with what other people have said, of course!
