I guess OP was not asking about MX pointing to CNAME, but rather the
opposite - CNAME pointing to MX (among others). I understand that OP asked
about setup like below (rather exotic, I didn't see it in actual use):
example1.com. IN CNAME example.com
example.com. IN MX 10 mail.example.com.
example.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ~all"
and the question is, how MX and SPF lookups for example1.com (not
example.com) will behave.
