I had never bothered putting an mx record for my server, because I seemed to
be getting mail fine without it and I seem to remember from a while back,
some discussion that under some circumstances, mx records are not needed.
then the people at my dad's hospital changed their routers firmware or
something and he could no longer email me, because his servers need an mx
record. I put one, and now I get 1000% more spam. Is this a coincidence?
under what circumstances should I NOT need an mx record? the IT people know
it is a configuration error on their part, but I do not really understand
how mail gets delivered with no mx record, or if this is a good thing
