This comment was added as a follow-on note. Sorry for not being clear. Accepting messages from a domain lacking MX records might be risky due to the high rate of domain turnovers. Within a few weeks, more than the number of existing domains will have been added and deleted by then. Spammers take advantage of this flux. Unfortunately SMTP server discovery via A records is permitted and should be deprecated.
Should be (perhaps) but clearly isn't. When you run it through a standards body and/or obtain broad acceptance; great! Until then, it's pipe dreaming.
