 do other MTA's also allow for incorrect MX records?

As far as I know, sendmail, qmail, and recently postfix, allow for MX
records with IPs. Exim does not allow them.

 is there a good reason that someone would set up an MX record
 with an IP address?

They're M$ admins who don't care to read the DNS book by Cricket Liu?
