MX -- IP number instead of host name

I have a question about MX records. Our users cannot email a certain domain, say foo.com, and when I looked the domain up, I noticed their entry for mail exchanger is an IP address rather than a host name. Now I've read somewhere earlier on the qmail list that this is not correct according to

I can't shut off the percenthack feature. Qmail 1.01 ignores an absent or an empty percenthack file. It will relay mail for any ip alias on the server except for the fqdn of the host. How do I shut it down? If it ignores the control/percenthack, can I make a code change somewhere and
