latest MIMAIL is bypassing MX hosts

FYI, I noticed that my most recent virus email senders
(shipping attachments identified as MIMAIL.R by Trend Micro)
are ignoring DNS MX records and sending directly to hosts
pointed to by DNS A records.

This may be of interest to those who point their MX record
toward SMTP antivirus gateways.
