While I think it's pretty anal-retentive to require a mail sender to have a
valid MX record, I don't see what would be so hard about setting up MX
records for this scenario:
inbound-mx01 IN A 192.168.1.98
inbound-mx02 IN A 192.168.1.99
outbound-01 IN A 192.168.1.100
IN MX 10 inbound-mx01
IN MX 20 inbound-mx02
Or am I missing something?
