jkinz mentioned the connecting "system"; that is to say, the connecting client. That client needn't be the MX for the domain from which email

Negative, "system" --  that is to say "domain" in this case.

system != domain in technical discourse, so no.

Consider yourself surprised..

Consider yourself corrected.

email systems (domains) that don't have mx's will find themselves having
problems despite the fact that its not an rfc requirement.

Truism. That is an entirely different statement than saying (as you did
in your original post)

You can interpret it any way you like to make your position
correct. and you will. That petty game is played by many.

That was a cute monologue.


I'm mostly interested in conveying useful information.

FUD is not useful; best take interest in conveying accurate information.


Anyone who wants to send out their own email will find their life
better with an mx record, just like "tandon.net" has.
